The Salvation Army’s Nantwich charity shop has launched an appeal for extra volunteers this Christmas.
November and December are busy months for Salvation Army shops, increasing the need for lots of extra helpers to support with sales and donations.
Christine Westwood, area manager covering Nantwich, said: “There’s no time like Christmas to help out at a Salvation Army shop.
“It’s one of the best times of year, but also one of the busiest.
“That’s why we’re appealing for a band of Sally Army Helpers who can donate as much time as they can to our Nantwich shop during the festive period.
“Volunteers often don’t realise how valuable they are; a couple of hours or even a few days a week make a huge difference to us.”
Salvation Army shops offer training in volunteer skills.
There are a number of jobs the Nantwich Salvation Army shop on Beam Street needs help with at Christmas time.
Christine added: “We’d like to encourage anybody interested in being one of our Sally Army Helpers to pop in to talk to our friendly staff.
“There are lots of tasks to get involved with, including sorting through donations, creating window displays, steaming and hanging clothes, assisting customers and generally helping us spread Christmas cheer!
“If you think you can spare any time at all, please do get in touch.”
The money raised through the Nantwich shop contributes to The Salvation Army’s work with people who are vulnerable and in need across the UK.
