Retail Volunteer - Kelso

  • Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (Scottish Borders)
  • VO83969

Description

We currently have around 40 shops/ community hubs across Scotland. Our shops and hubs help us raise funds so we can provide our services to the people who need us. Every one of our stores relies on a team of volunteers to help run it and support our staff. Quite simply, we cannot provide our services or raise funds without the amazing support of our volunteers. The time, support and the work they do is vital to us and the people we help. By helping out in one of our stores, you can make a difference to people and their families in Scotland who are isolated, scared or anxious about their condition.

Organisation aims and objectives

To encourage those who have had a stroke, particularly those with communication problems, to regain maximum independance in the community, enhance their quality of life, build up confidence and widen social horizons. Also, to encourage and support their families and carers.
