A NATIONAL charity is encouraging the people of York to volunteer in their local store and help raise funds for life saving research.
The British Heart Foundation's (BHF) home store, in Clifton Gate Retail Centre, is in urgent need of volunteering support as it seeks to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sarah Boardman, retail volunteering operations manager at British Heart Foundation, said: "Volunteering at the BHF is a great opportunity to meet new people, boost your confidence, gain retail experience and help give unwanted items a new lease of life.
"Every hour given will help us raise funds to support the 151,000 people in North Yorkshire living with heart and circulatory diseases.”
Volunteers can get involved in tasks such as telephone and logistical administration, merchandising on the shop floor and answering customer queries.
The charity also offers online roles for those keen on honing their technology skills, by helping to research, photograph and list items for BHF’s online shops.
For more information on how to get involved, contact the BHF’s York home store by calling 01904 563120.
