Amanda the assistant manager spoke to cog news regarding the struggle they have in getting helpers. With two shops in the town including a furniture emporium there is a lot of work to do.
They are looking for 10 volunteers, the minimum age is 18. There is a lovely atmosphere in the Cheadle Shops, always someone to listen and you always know that when you buy something your giving to a wonderful hospice. Dougie Mac are in the process of improving the appearance of the shop, and people with special knowledge of ceramics are always welcome. No previous retail experience is necessary - just the will to be part of our lovely town community. All training will be provided. If you can spare 4 hours a week please pop in and talk to the manager you will not regret it.
About the Dougie Mac: Every year, Dougie Mac provides all hospice services free of charge to adults, young adults and children living with a life-limiting illness in Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire and the surrounding villages; also offering supportive care for their families and carers. Following the amalgamation in March 2021 of children’s hospice The Donna Louise Trust into Dougie Mac, our care now takes place across two sites in Blurton and Trentham as well as out in the local community.
