Elgin’s Newest Charity Store Seeks Donations and Volunteers Ahead of Launch 22 December 2023 Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland is launching its newest charity store in Elgin next month. The store is due to open at the end of January and will be based at Elgin Retail Park on Edgar Road and the charity is looking for help from the local community to get it off to a successful start. The shop will primarily stock high-quality women’s wear, accessories, and jewellery, as well as a selection of men’s wear, children’s wear, and bric-a-brac to homeware, and is on the lookout for donations ahead of the opening date. “We are incredibly excited to be launching our newest charity stores in Elgin, and to involve the local community in making it a success. Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland is also keen to hear from any would-be volunteers from the local area who are keen to give the gift of time by volunteering with the charity and help people living with chest, heart and stroke conditions live their lives to the full. Andrew Thomson, manager of the Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland Elgin store, said: “We are incredibly excited to be launching our newest charity stores in Elgin, and to involve the local community in making it a success. “Donations from the community and local volunteers are key to our retail offering, and we’d love to hear from anyone with a love of fashion and retail who would like to support our fundraising activities through our new boutique.” Earlier this year, Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland relaunched its No Life Half Lived strategy which has set an ambitious target for the charity to support an additional 175000 people over the next five years through its community healthcare support services. Donations can be dropped off at the store, from mid-January at Unit 6, Elgin Retail Park, Edgar Road, Elgin . Anyone interested in volunteering can also visit the store or call 07702802657. There are also two part-time Assistant Manager roles open for recruitment at the Elgin store. The 19.5 hours and 12 hours per week contracts will be open for applications until Wednesday 31st January.
