(Stornoway) Shop Recruitment Organiser

  • Save the Children (Western Isles)

Save the Children have over 130 shops with a turnover in excess of £6 million p.a. The shops make a significant contribution to the money Save the Children needs to carry out its work for children. Shops are also ambassadors for Save the Children, and ensure that our name and work is known throughout the UK. We need to maintain, strengthen and develop the shop business in order to increase income and heighten public awareness of our work for the benefit of children overseas and here in the UK. All Save the Children shops are locally managed and run by volunteers. There is a small regional team of staff with retail backgrounds who are employed to manage a group of shops.

Volunteer Handyperson

  • Volunteering Matters

Volunteering Matters is the UK's leading volunteering charity. Our Handyperson Service runs in Greater Stirling, Eastern Villages, Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, Callander and the Rural South West as well as in Clackmannanshire and involves volunteers who complete small and minor maintenance jobs that some older or disabled people cannot do by themselves in their own homes. The types of jobs that volunteers complete take less than 2 hours and include things such as changing lightbulbs, hanging curtains, fitting smoke/carbon monoxide alarms or replacing batteries their batteries, unblocking sinks, putting up shelves or building flat pack furniture. Ask us - we can only say no if its not something we can do. It can often be difficult to find tradespeople willing to do such minor jobs and can be somewhat dangerous for older, frail people to do themselves so that’s where our volunteers step in to help. Note: we dont undertake gardening, decorating, electrical or gas fitting work. As a result of our Service, older people feel more confident in their ability to live independently in their own homes. We also offer fire safety advice and how to prevent a fall at home. Volunteers receive full support from project staff as well as travel expenses and health & safety equipment. Volunteers find that not only are they helping others, they’re also strengthening their own communities and networks as well as a lot of job satisfaction! The days of the week and hours available are completely flexible and we will work around the volunteer and what spare time they have. If you are interested in volunteering, or you know someone who could do with some help around the house, then please contact us.
