WE are very excited to be opening the very first St Leonard’s Hospice city centre charity shop in York next month.

Based at 42 Fossgate, the shop officially opens to the public on Tuesday, August 22, at 11am.

However, so far we are very short of volunteer sales assistants to help us run it.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a brand new team and gain experience in merchandising, customer service and marketing.

We are holding a volunteer drop-in between noon and 6pm on Wednesday, August 9 and would like to encourage people to pop along and see our fantastic new shop, meet our new shop manager and ask any questions you may have etc.

The shop style is different to what we’ve done before – we think it has the wow factor.

If you can’t make the event but would like to find out more, please contact the retail team on 01904 788777 or enquiries@slhretail.co.uk.
