VOLUNTEERS are needed to help out at a Redditch charity shop.

The Cancer Research UK Shop in Market Place is looking for residents who can spare a few hours of their spare time to help out.

Duties include operating the till, customer service and preparing goods for sale. Full training will be given.

Shop manager Pat Wells said: "Not only can volunteering improve your social life but it is also a fantastic way to learn new skills and gain valuable work experience."

She said volunteers even have the chance to earn valuable qualifications.

"And there is no need to sit any written examinations or attend college," she added.
