Jumble Sales – New roles!
Would you like to be part of a super volunteer team who together make our Jumble Sales a great success? Our Jumble Sales, held in the heart of Thatcham town are a fantastic fundraiser for the cats and kittens in our care.
Remaining Jumble Sales dates this year:
18 July, 19 September, 21 November
We are currently looking for:
Transport volunteers
A very important part of making the Jumble Sales work is transporting the jumble items to the venue. This involves collecting our Cats Protection van from the centre in Curridge village, driving to the Jumble Sale venue in central Thatcham and helping to unload. Then driving the van back to the centre after the Jumble Sale has finished.
This role is really nice as it can be simply van driving if wished but if volunteers would like to get more involved and stay and help with the Jumble Sale though there is no expectation to do this, it would be very welcomed!
Time commitment: 6 Saturdays, per year. Approx 1.5 hours in the morning and then again at 1pm.
There may also be the potential in the future for the role to expand and van drivers to become involved in other driving tasks.
Jumble Loading
Another key part of the Jumble Sales is loading up vehicles with jumble items (clothes, bric-a-brac, books) on the Friday afternoons before the Jumble Sales. Again, if volunteers would also like to be involved in the Jumble Sales on the Saturdays, this would be very welcomed though not expected.
Where: At our centre in Curridge village near Thatcham
Time commitment: 2-4.30pm (approx.), 6 Fridays per year.
