BARNSLEY Hospice is appealing for more volunteers to help at its Dodworth donation centre.

The centre acts as a drop off point and stock warehouse, and also houses three retail outlets selling clothing, books, CDs and DVDs.

There are currently 47 volunteers at the centre, opposite KDA’s Warehouse on Fall Bank Industrial Estate.

They do everything from sort stock to accept donations, help in the outlets and assist with furniture deliveries.

Retail manager Stephen Hatfield said: “We simply couldn’t manage without our volunteers here at Dodworth, and it’s vital that we find more people who are able to spare some time even just a few hours a week to help.

“The hospice relies on its shops to raise money for patient care, so these are important roles that make a direct difference to families in Barnsley.

“Although the shops here at the donation centre have been open a couple of years, they are a still a bit of a hidden treasure. So, as well as more volunteers, we’d also love to see more people popping down to drop off donations and pick up some bargains at the same time.”
