More Salisbury volunteers needed at children's hospice charity

The charity's shops rely on volunteers throughout the week and need more people to help out on the tills at the store in Fisherton Street.

Julia's House say volunteering brings lots of benefits from building confidence to reducing stress and is a great way to make friends and have fun.

Liz Thompson, Volunteer Co-ordinator for Julia's House, said.

"You don't have to have experience to be a volunteer at Julia's House as we provide all the training you will require. You just need to be friendly, reliable and have the confidence to talk to our customers and make them feel welcome. It's a great feeling to be supporting your local community and will make all the difference to the children and families we care for locally. We would love to hear from anyone who has a few hours to spare."

A host of safety measures in line with current government guidance are in place in all Julia's House shops, including strict cleaning, handwashing and hygiene procedures.

All donations are left to stand for 72 hours before being unpacked.

Julia's House is a local charity dedicated to supporting the families of children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

It relies on public donations, fundraising and legacies for 95 per cent of the money needed to run its vital service including it's hospice in Devizes.
