Being given the keys for a new tenancy after being homeless can seem like a dream come true. But sometimes the dream can fade at the first sight of a flat with stained walls, flaking paint and bare floorboards. This is where Fresh Start’s Hit Squads can help. The Hit Squads are teams of volunteers who will work alongside new tenants in their home to decorate up to two rooms. If you think you can help, then please get in touch with either Chloe (07387 141060) or Sylvia (07955 315340) at Fresh Start.

We require volunteer assistants to help out at our Shelter Scotland shop by providing practical support - the role involves being the face of Shelter Scotland when collecting donations, dismantling beds, tables, etc. for easier transport and storage; lifting heavy furniture through sometimes awkward spaces and angles, removing and replacing furniture on the shop floor and helping to prepare route plans for the day ahead in the most cost effective way.
