Volunteering With Us

Our volunteers are the backbone of what we do

Would you like to help to run a stall, hand out leaflets, volunteer for a street collection, hold a coffee morning or organise your own sponsored event?  We are always ready to welcome enthusiastic volunteers to help with our fundraising. The more ideas the better! 

If you can give time to help in our Friarage Hospital shop or help us in other ways with our fundraising we would really love to hear from you.  Every single donation of either time or money all contributes to making the Friarage the welcoming, supportive and positive place that it is!  
 
Even if you do not have experience, you are valuable to us and we can provide the necessary training. If you are considering volunteering at our events please call us on 01609 762013 and we can answer any questions you might have.

    Jim, Friarage Shop Volunteer
  • "I’ve worked at the Friarage shop for over a year with many different volunteers. I enjoy the contact with people, both customers and staff.
