The Glenkens Community Shop - volunteers needed!

The Glenkens Community Shop opened nearly eleven years ago, and is flourishing. So much so that we need a few more volunteers!

Over this time the Community Shop has given out nearly £70,000, helping to support many groups and individuals who play such a vital role in our Glenkens community.

We can only open, with anything approaching our pre-covid availability, with more volunteers. Even if you can offer one three-hour session a month that would be really helpful. We’re an exceptionally friendly group. All of us volunteers really enjoy our time in the shop – it’s a great way to meet people and serve the community and also support some of the incredibly varied groups and projects in the Glenkens.

We welcome volunteers of all ages and this could be a perfect opportunity to gain some practical experience for school leavers and provide references where required. Shifts are three hours long, and usually involve biscuits. New volunteers are always paired those with experience, and we usually have at least two people on at any one time.

If you’re interested just pop into the shop for a chat with current volunteers and pick up an application form. Or you can phone 07530 804217 or emai: lis.lewis49@gmail.com to find out more or to leave an email address and we will email an application form to you.
