I echo what Stephen has said. Our volunteering day at St Luke's Charity Shop in Crookes, Sheffield was indeed "hard work, but fun."
Spending the whole day on our feet was quite tiring for those of us who usually sit at a desk...
More importantly, it was a real eye opener too, highlighting the following points:
1). How much effort goes into running a Charity Shop, particularly behind the scenes.
2). How much money is needed by St Luke's each year in order to keep doing their fantastic work.
Total required this year is £14 Million. NHS funds 25% so that leaves c.£10.5 Million to be raised through donations, legacies, retail shops and other activities.
Many thousands of Sheffield folks will have their lives touched in some way by St Luke's. So if you can spare your time to volunteer, or are able to donate (either cash or unwanted items) then please give generously.
You will be supporting a great cause!

🌟 Yesterday, some of the DeeperThanBlue team had a fantastic time volunteering at St Luke's - Sheffield's Hospice charity shop in Crookes, Sheffield! We spent the day sorting clothes and CDs, sharing laughs with the wonderful staff, and getting a solid workout in the process.
It was inspiring to see the hard work that goes on day-in-day-out to keep the shelves full and raise funds for this excellent charity. A huge shoutout to Emma, the store manager, and the rest of the St Luke's team for showing us the ropes and making us feel so welcome. We hope we made a bit of a difference! 💙 Great work Jane, Pete, Holly, Josh and Stephen #Volunteering#CommunitySupport#DeeperThanBlue
Keir Starmer’s pledge to embrace civil society as a key engine for national renewal is to be welcomed. Charities and voluntary groups are rooted in local communities and have a passion for change that government’s neglect at their peril. The relationship will not always be smooth, nor should it be. Charities have a duty to speak out in support of their beneficiaries and this will, on occasion, bring them into conflict with government. But it is out of this creative tension and mutual respect that good policy is made that helps deal with the most pressing challenges we face. Replacing the sterile and destructive ‘culture wars’ with a new ‘society of service’ is an excellent place to start.

Community perceptions of charities and community groups are shifting. That will require a reset in some of our thinking to find a new North.
Community Council for Australia CEO David Crosbie delves into an absolute must read for #charities and #communitygroups: The Community Compass. In this article for the Community Advocate he discusses four of the many issues that arose for him when reviewing the findings: indifference; volunteering; our shifting values; and community views on purpose.
'People are generally very supportive of our work, and happy to become more involved where possible, but if we really want more engagement and support, we’ll have to do more than appeal to values like fairness and equity that no longer resonate strongly with everyone in our communities.'
