Meet Jane, one of our marvellous Moortown Volunteers 💜
After moving to Leeds from Wales last September, Jane was looking for a way to give back to a cause close to her heart. Having seen a close friend supported by hospice care, she wanted to help make a difference for others facing similar challenges.
When Jane visited the St Gemma’s Moortown charity shop, she immediately felt welcomed by the friendly team and knew she had found the right place to volunteer.
"The volunteer team here at Moortown are such a lovely bunch and it’s been great getting to know the regular customers," says Jane.
From chatting with customers to preparing donations for the shop floor, Jane finds every shift rewarding.
After visiting the Hospice on a volunteer tour, Jane saw first-hand how funds raised through our shops help support patients and their families with compassionate care, comfort and support.
"Knowing that every purchase plays a small part in helping St Gemma’s meet those needs makes every sale feel even more meaningful."
