Hesket Newmarket Community Shop

Volunteer

Can you volunteer in the shop?

So far, we’ve had responses from over fifty people to our volunteer recruitment drive. If you are interested in lending a hand with anything once we’re up and

running – serving in the shop, post office or tearoom, stock-taking, baking, deliveries, or anything else you can think of, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Hesket Newmarket Show

Sat 30 August | 10 – 4pm | Newlands

We will have a stall at the show so please come over for a chat and a cuppa if you’re wondering about how you can volunteer with us!

Whether it’s stocking shelves, running the till, baking cakes or making tea, there’s a role for everyone. Post Office training is free, and no one will be asked to do anything they’re not comfy with.

If you miss us on Saturday, you can simply leave your details in the shop, sign up below or give anyone on the Committee a call to chat about how you can get involved – it’ll be fun, rewarding and make a real difference.
