Number 8, a renowned local charity, is appealing for volunteers at its shop in Pershore.

The charity shop is a haven of pre-owned books, home goods, jewellery, and various other items, with all proceeds supporting Number 8's work in providing arts, education, and entertainment in the Pershore area.

As a registered charity, Number 8 operates with the help of more than 150 volunteers who work in a myriad of roles within the organisation.

These dedicated community members form the core of the management team, playing a vital part in the organisation's ongoing success.

Ann Marcangelo, volunteer coordinator at Number 8, said: "Funds raised by the charity shop are a great support to Number 8, funding special projects and enabling us to continue providing the very best art, education and entertainment in Pershore.

"Our charity shop volunteers are doing their bit to help arts and culture thrive.

"If you have time to spare we can certainly help you put it to good use."
