We are seeking volunteers for our Charity shop in Whitchurch Village. We're only asking 3.5 hours a week or even every other.
In return you’ll meet like-minded people, gain confidence and skills. For young volunteers and job seekers, volunteering is an excellent way to show initiative, improve your CV and gain a reference.
A survey carried out by TimeBank through Reed Executive showed that among 200 of the UK’s leading businesses:
73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering experience over one without
94% of employers believe that volunteering can add to skills
94% of employees who volunteered to learn new skills had benefited either by getting their first job, improving their salary, or being promoted
Volunteers contribute a MASSIVE 34,600 working hours per year to George Thomas Hospice Care and consequently save our hospice approximately £212,000 per year, meaning more of the money we raise goes directly into caring for terminally ill patients and their families. We simply could not do what we do without such support.
