Meet Debra

Whetstone Shop Volunteer, Debra

Debra has been part of our retail volunteer team for 11 years. You’ll find her every Tuesday afternoon sorting stock and helping customers at our Whetstone store.

“I feel part of a community that is supporting a great cause, and I’ve made some good friends over the years. You develop people skills and learn lots about stock, like crockery, antiques and jewellery.

“With more and more people wanting to recycle and live more sustainably, our shop is very busy. It’s very sociable, rewarding and flexible work, that, since retiring, has helped me maintain skills and learn new ones.”
