A national charity store opening in Gateshead next month is accepting new volunteers with zero skills and experience.
YMCA in Gateshead is offering the chance for up to 40 volunteers of any age and background to either have a positive impact after retirement or for younger people to gain valuable work experience that will help them secure paid employment in the future. Store Manager Helen Montgomery said: "It's been five weeks since I've started working here and I'm absolutely loving it.
"So far we have a good amount of volunteers but still in need of some more. No one has to have any skills or qualifications as when they join they'll be trained, and can pick whichever role best suits them."
