A FREESHOP is a community shop , staffed and run by the community , for the community. It only works with the hard work and dedication of the volunteers.
It is very rewarding work, knowing that you are not only supporting the most vulnerable in your community but you are also preventing unwanted items from going needlessly to landfill. With your hard work and dedication volunteering at a FREESHOP can make a huge difference.
Helping others is addictive in the very best way, the more you help the more you want to help
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others
I've done a lot of therapy in my time and nothing comes close to the positive effect of volunteering here. No Drink or drugs give can compete with the buzz you get from helping people
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give
The intelligent way to be selfish is to work for the welfare of others
We found by interviewing our volunteers twice a year that their mental health and well being scores all improved by over 80%. The power of volunteering really is amazing
