Julia’s House children’s hospice

THE Julia’s House children’s hospice shop in Devizes is inviting new volunteers to join its team for a few hours a week.

The shop, in Maryport Street, needs people to help out behind the scenes or on the shop floor by sorting donations, putting out stock or serving customers.

“These are roles that would suit anyone and no experience is needed because we provide full training,” said Liz Froud, volunteer co-ordinator for Julia’s House. “Volunteers need only donate a couple of hours a week; a spare pair of hands for a morning or afternoon in this friendly shop would be a great help.”

Julia’s House, which opened Wiltshire’s first children’s hospice in the town two years ago, also has a shop in Salisbury and nine others across Dorset. The charity provides outstanding, award-winning care for babies, children and young people with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions, as well as support for their families.

Anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to pop into the shop for an informal chat or to contact Liz Froud on 01202 644220.
