Local domestic abuse charity Society Without Abuse needs more volunteers to help run its Survivor shop in Hughenden Yard.
The shop specialises in quality and high-end, branded womenswear and menswear for budget-conscious shoppers. Brands on offer include Armani, Jaeger and LK Bennett, as well as seasonal must-haves, shoes and accessories.
The boutique store plays a vital role in raising funds to support individuals and families affected by domestic abuse. The charity, Society without Abuse supports victims to recover from the trauma of abuse. The charity also delivers a number of programmes to prevent domestic abuse happening in the future through working with schools and colleges to educate children and young people on spotting the red flags of abuse and promoting healthy relationships. In addition behaviour change programmes target those who use harmful behaviours.
“Every hour volunteered in our shop directly contributes to the support we can provide to those in need,” said Kerry Wrighton, Shop Manager at Society Without Abuse. “We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, and we’re always looking to welcome new faces into our friendly team.
The Survivor shop in Hughenden Yard offers something really special. We are lucky to have a number of regular donors who generously donate high quality, and sometimes even brand new, clothes, as well as vintage items and wonderful eveningwear too. We’re looking for a few more people who can be generous with their time in order to match these wonderful items with shoppers in Marlborough looking for quality without breaking the bank.”
Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Kerry on survivor@societywithoutabuse.org.uk.
