Volunteers needed this Christmas

07 June 2010

We are looking for volunteers from various towns across the country to help part-time in local multi-charity Christmas card shops.

Each year the MS Trust is invited to sell Christmas cards in 'Cards for Good Causes' and 'Card Aid' shops around the country. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Trust and the money raised helps us support people with MS.

We are looking for people who can spare one morning or afternoon per week in the eight weeks before Christmas to carry out duties such as operating a simple electronic till, dealing with payments and keeping the shop tidy. Many of our volunteers find that this is an enjoyable way to meet new people in a friendly environment at the same time as knowing that they are helping a good cause.

Below is a list of towns where we particularly need volunteers, other locations are available. If you live in any of these areas and think you might be able to help, then please get in touch.

I've met lovely, interesting people and the atmosphere leading up to Christmas is special. Doing the cards is part of that now.
