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. Are you calm, collected and happy to chat on the phone? Join the volunteer team at our store. With support from the charity shop team, you will be the first point of contact for customers, helping them with any phone or face-to-face enquiries, arranging collections of donations via our local van teams and explaining our Gift Aid scheme. You will also be using our online collections request system to process online collection booking requests. This is a busy front of house role for those who like to be in the thick of it and makes a huge difference in helping us continue to fund lifesaving research.
