Strathcarron Hospice Warehouse Volunteers

Posted on July 15, 2016

Strathcarron Hospice are recruiting warehouse volunteers due to opening a central warehouse in Falkirk in order to store, sort and organise all donated stock.

Stock (including clothes and bric-a-brac) will be collected from Strathcarron’s 14 charity shops and brought to the warehouse to be sorted and hung on rails, ready to be delivered back to a shop when they run short of that particular category.

Volunteers will be required to open the bags of donated goods, sort and hang them on rails according to category.

There will be no selling of the goods at the warehouse.

For further information regarding this opportunity, please contact the Volunteer Team by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
