Chichester Store Volunteers
The long-serving volunteer team at Chichester all bring great qualities which contribute to the smooth running of the store on a day to day basis, while also generating extra income. Each volunteer adds something different to the store, from going through donations of toys to make complete sets, transferring from other stores where needed and taking on new roles where necessary. Some volunteers have been with the store since it opened 25 years ago, demonstrating loyalty and commitment even when personal circumstances have made volunteering hard for them. The volunteers range in age from 14-90 years old, and the older volunteers are there for the younger volunteers, helping them settle in to the store and taking the time to mentor them. The store was one of the first to return to business after the lockdowns, and without the support and commitment of the volunteers this would not have been possible. The store is about to move to a larger location, and staff are confident that the volunteers will embrace the new challenge with the same attitude and commitment that they always have.
