Stock Generator Volunteer

Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland
VO97566

Our Retail Volunteers fight back against loneliness, stop fear in its tracks and keep people alive for longer – all while having fun at the same time!

We are looking for someone who enjoys engaging with their local community to help our retail team by securing stock donations from shops, local businesses, and community venues.

Allan, Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland volunteer says: “Anyone who does any kind of volunteering gets a lot of satisfaction from it. I always just hoped that my general knowledge, experience, and encouragement could help a little bit.”

We believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following the diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, Long Covid, or a stroke. Our Retail team is vital in helping us raise the funds needed to provide services such as community support services, specialist nurses, advice and information, education, and peer support.

Join our fabulous team of Retail Volunteers and learn new skills, make great friends, and make a real difference to people in Scotland who are isolated, scared, or anxious about their condition.
