Local older people’s charity Age UK Lancashire is calling on people to help with donations and volunteer support in their charity shops.
It's currently in desperate need of volunteer drivers to help collect and move stock donations between their nine shops around the county; volunteers would have access to the charities van or can use their own vehicle.
David Ward from Age UK Lancashire said: “We know it’s a really busy time of year for everyone and people do lots for charity in the run up to Christmas. We are looking for people who are willing and able to offer us support on the longer term basis as our shops really do enable us to raise vital funds to support our services. Being able to collect donations and move stock between shops is a vital function and we are really struggling at the moment as we don’t currently have anyone doing this”.
Age UK Lancashire has nine shops across the county which help them raise funds. All of the profits made from the shops stay in Lancashire to directly help older people who need it the most.
Added David: “We are also in need of donations of clothing and household items to ensure we have enough good quality items for people to buy. We do accept all sorts including old clothing and shoes as these can be sold for recycling, meaning that it’s much better than throwing old items away”.
If you can spare some time each week to volunteer or you have items that can be donated to the shops then you can visit www.ageuklancs.org.uk to find out more, or simply drop off your items at any Age UK Lancashire shop. Call 0300 303 1234 for more details.
