As a Clothing Store volunteer, you will help to sort clothes donations, bag items for laundry, arrange clothes into the appropriate cupboards and take items to wards at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh hospital. The Clothing Store is a much-utilised resource providing a change of clothes for patients who need it - in particular trauma patients and those living with dementia.
If you like being organised, would like to help out in a hospital but in a non-direct patient way, this could be the role for you. You must be comfortable volunteering on your own due to the size of the space.
