We currently have a number of exciting opportunities for volunteers to join our flagship charity shop in Southwater, Horsham.

Volunteers come in all shapes and guises and it’s amazing what they can do when gently persuaded to!

We truly value any help we can get in the office counting money, data inputting, wrapping parcels; writing to companies for raffle prizes; we rely enormously on people helping distribute collection boxes out in the community; driving; taking minutes; running a bar; store collections; helping out before, during and clearing up after, events.  This can involve absolutely anything from registering participants to drumming at the Firewalk!

Volunteers are our life blood and with a small number of employees at the Dame Vera Lynn Trust, we welcome every single one.

There is nothing too small or too large you can volunteer to help us with . After all, our Trustees are all volunteers!

We are also very lucky to receive the support of companies who volunteer for us in various ways such as painting buildings, gardening, station collections and helping sell our Christmas cards.  If you are a company or work for an organisation and think your staff would be interested in volunteering, please get in touch, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Contact the trust office on 01403 780444 or email:  [email protected].  Thank you.
