Pet charity launches urgent plea for Harrogate volunteers

Tuesday, 24 September 2024 09:55

Blue Cross on Beulah Street in Harrogate.

Blue Cross is in urgent need of new volunteers to join the team at the pet charity's shop in Harrogate.

The charity shop on Beulah Street sells preloved women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, accessories, homeware, toys, books, bric-a-brac and more.

Volunteers will help to sort donations, serve customers and work on the shop floor, as well as creating displays and supporting the team with admin.

No experience is needed as Blue Cross will provide full training.

Funds raised by the shop help the national charity to help sick, injured and homeless cats, dogs, small animals and horses at its animal hospitals and rehoming centres across the charity.

David Palmer, Head of Retail Operations at Blue Cross, said:

“Money raised from sales in our charity shops helps us to continue to offer vital support to animals in need through our rehoming, veterinary and support services across the country.

"Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends, and feel part of your community. We'd love to hear from you if you can spare a few hours a week to join our team.”

The shop is open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. For more information, visit www.bluecross.org.uk or call 0300 790 9906.
