Hucknall brain injury charity shop urgently needs more volunteers to support its vital work
A national brain injury charity urgently needs more volunteers at its shop in Hucknall to help it continue its vital work supporting brain injury survivors and their loved ones.
Headway has shops in Beeston, Eastwood, Hucknall, and Mapperley and all are looking for friendly people to volunteer their time in several ways, including greeting and serving customers, sorting donations, and ensuring the shop floor remains tidy and welcoming.
David Byrne, Headway head of retail, said: “Our shops are very busy, so we desperately need more kind, positive people to join our much-valued teams.
"No experience is necessary and we would be really happy to provide volunteers with training and support.”
Every year, around 350,000 people are admitted to hospital with a brain injury.
Brain injuries can be sustained in several ways, including as a result of a stroke, brain tumour or accident.
Headway works to improve life for people after brain injuries by providing vital support, advocacy, and information services to brain injury survivors and their families.
David added: “The money raised from sales in our shops ensures that we can continue to offer vital support to those affected by brain injury.
"Volunteering is also a fantastic way to learn new skills, make new friends, and to feel more connected to your community.
“We'd love to hear from you if you can spare us a few hours a week.
"You will become an important part of helping improve life after brain injury."
