THE BHF Southport Home Store is appealing to the local community to get involved and donate the gift of time by volunteering.
 

The store is inviting nearby residents who may be looking for something new to try, to take on 1 of the fantastic volunteering roles available. 
 

As well as providing crucial support to the BHF, volunteering can also provide great work experience, boost your CV, increase wellbeing and provide a social network within the local community.

The BHF are asking those who can offer a few hours or possibly a couple of mornings or afternoons a week to come and join the team, meet people and learn some new skills. Volunteers can learn and develop a range of skills, from telephone and logistical administration and helping on the shop floor to sorting stock or even helping to research, photograph and list items for the BHF online shop. Behind the scenes there are also physical warehouse activities or specialist roles for those who want to channel their passions.
 

There are also volunteer stock generators and volunteer recruiters who get out and about in the local area. These roles can provide transferrable skills for job applications and help with boosting confidence, while also helping the BHF raise funds for life saving research.

The charity is now urging the local community to support their nearest shop by taking up flexible volunteering opportunities, whether it's a few shifts or a longer-term commitment.

Every pound raised in BHF shops helps the charity to support those living with heart and circulatory diseases. Your gift of time can help the BHF, help them.
