Summary
We welcome all kinds of donated goods at our King's Lynn warehouse - and we need help sorting through and choosing how best to use them.
Detailed description
At our warehouse and distribution centre we're looking for volunteers to help us expand our recycling programme and increase the income to Tapping House. To do this we need to identify what items can be sold in our shops and think about how we can recycle anything else.
These are some of the things we need help with.
Sorting through books, games and DVDs
· use a barcode scanner to scan them
· box items up ready for collection
Metal
· metal segregation
· removing plugs
· sorting metals into specific types
· stripping cables
· pulling ring pulls off cans
Mobile phones and tablets
· erase data and restore to factory settings
You might like to do one or more of these tasks and any combination. You’ll get full training - and you don’t have to do everything!
About Tapping House
Tapping House hospice is committed to providing outstanding care for people in the local community living with life-shortening illnesses and to their carers, family and friends including bereavement support.
The support provided is tailored to the individual, encompassing their physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs in an understanding, caring and compassionate way, ensuring dignity is maintained throughout.
Care is delivered at the hospice in Hillington, either in the Inpatient Unit, at Day Therapy groups or one-to-one sessions at the hospice. Care is sometimes provided in people’s own homes. Our outstanding care services cost a staggering £6.7million to provide each year and this year alone we will need to raise £5 million to provide the care patients truly deserve. We rely on the majority of this coming from the support of local groups, businesses and individuals.
