Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. We raise money to research cures and treatments, so we can give people more time with the ones they love. We have been funding science since 1961.
Volunteering in your local shop is a great way to meet new people and share your skills. There are a variety of roles and opportunities available for you to get involved with. We have a new Homestore in Halifax and are looking for people to join our team. Our Shop Volunteers are the first point of contact for customers when they enter our charity shop. You will be greeting customers, helping them find the items they’re looking for and answering their questions, with help on hand from the shop team. You will provide invaluable help in the running of the shop, keeping it stocked and attractively displayed. You could also be using the cash desk.
YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A TRIAL SESSION AT OUR STORE IN HALIFAX ARCADE, TO SEE IF VOLUNTEERING WITH US IS FOR YOU. SEE OUR WEBSITE TO SIGN UP OR POP INTO ONE OF OUR SHOPS.
