Our Shop
We are extraordinarily lucky to have such a fabulous band of volunteers for our shop, including a very dedicated hard core of people who give their time very generously. However, we urgently need more volunteers, including several to learn the opening procedure for the 7.30-10.00 am shifts, and we have lost our volunteers for the 6-7 and close shift on Monday evenings. We will also soon lose part of our Sunday morning Early Bird team (7.30 – 10.00) which involves sorting out the newspapers and baking. This particular shift is shared by six pairs of volunteers meaning you only take a turn once every six weeks.
The weekly opening shift is a busy time dealing with deliveries of newspapers, milk and bread etc.
The closing shift means cashing up the till, dealing with the newspapers and locking the shop.
None of this is complicated, and training will obviously be given. On the occasions that you can’t make the shift there is always the option to swap with another closer/opener, or I find cover for you.
Can I urge you to consider helping your community- you have no idea what a difference offering one hour a week makes. There is an assumption that we have plenty of help, but our shop really does need you….now.
