Volunteer
Female 25 - 50
I live about two mins walk from the Walkerburn depot and I used to come in for a browse occasionally.
One day Ruth the manager got talking to me and explained how I could get a referral to get a special discount.
I found everyone to be very friendly. They all made me feel welcome and I've been volunteering ever since I bought my things.
Helping here has greatly helped my self confidence. I would recommend it to anyone.
Home Basics is an essential part of the local community and the more help it gets, the more it can help.

I have been a Director for a few years. I help to run the charity and I attend the monthly board meetings that happen in the evenings.

Volunteer Placement
Male 25 - 50
Its more interesting than sitting in an office. I've been useful and the work is practical.
I will be able to put Home Basics as a reference having been out of work for a while. I've made use of the woodworking workshop and I've worked with some of the vulnerable volunteers to help them get the most from their volunteering.
Volunteer
I help with the Administration of the charity. I use the computer to help record the statistics of donations and sales. This means I can practice my computer skills. I have found Home Basics to be a friendly environment to work in and feel my confidence has grown since I started. |
