BLUE Cross pet charity is appealing for enthusiastic volunteers to help out in their shop in Frome.
Blue Cross shops raise money for the thousands of unwanted, abandoned and sick pets cared for by the charity’s rehoming centres and hospitals every year. They are asking for pet lovers with time to spare to join the team at their Frome branch.
Gill Leach, area retail manager for Blue Cross said, “We are so grateful to the fantastic teams we have at our charity shops, they give all the time they can and we really couldn’t do what we do without their support.
“Volunteering is a great way of getting involved in the local community and getting some useful retail experience. And it’s just really rewarding to know that our work supports pets in need.”
Volunteer duties range from sorting and displaying stock to helping customers, serving on the till and helping out with window displays at the shop on 18 Westway.
Gill added, “If you think you might be able to help in the shop regularly, please don’t hesitate to pop in for a chat to find out more. We’d love to have you on our team!”
Blue Cross is a charity with no government funding, so relies on sales through shops and donations from generous animal lovers to continue its work. For those who can’t spare time to help in the shop, the charity is also on the lookout for good quality clothing, books or household items to sell.
