A palliative care and bereavement support charity is looking for volunteers to lend their support at its shop in Abingdon.

Sue Ryder is encouraging residents to contribute their time and skills to help its shop on Market Place to thrive throughout the summer.

Volunteering opportunities at the shop range from sorting out and preparing stock to merchandising and sales.

Volunteers will gain retail experience, meet new people, and support their community.

Sue Ryder Abingdon shop manager, Jonathan Evans, said: "We would absolutely love if any budding volunteers out there with a spring in their step and looking for a new challenge, would consider joining us.

"Our team of retail volunteers are an invaluable part of our organisation and play a critical part in helping the charity raise enough money so Sue Ryder can be there when it matters.

"We rely on the support of our dedicated volunteers, who are a lifeline to our shops.

"Sue Ryder is committed to making volunteering a rewarding, inclusive and empowering experience for everybody so we’d be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to find out more about joining our team in Abingdon.

"No matter how much time you have, we would love you to hear from you.”
