Volunteers needed this Christmas

01 June 2009

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, although other locations are available.

It wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't do my stint in St. Martin's in Exeter for Cards for Good Causes - I enjoy it so much!
