Hospice Isle of Man is looking for more volunteers for its shops.

They help to raise the £5 million Hospice needs annually to continue to support patients and their families and carers.

Head of retail for Hospice shops Alison Lester said: ‘Hospice Isle of Man is a community service that can only survive and thrive through community support.

‘Central to that support are our wonderful volunteers who give freely of their time to work in our shops and create a high-quality customer experience. With seven shops around the island and the Hospice superstore on the Spring Valley industrial estate to run we’re always looking for more volunteers to join our great team.

‘Whether you have just a few hours or a few days a week to spare we’d welcome you as a volunteer.

‘You’ll make new friends, learn new skills and be supporting recycling in a really meaningful way.

‘Most of all though, you’ll be a vital part of a long established and highly regarded Manx charity that’s dedicated to making a very real difference to people’s lives.’
