New Year's resolution to volunteer? Help Blue Cross to help more pets in 2025
Is one of your resolutions to volunteer in 2025? If so Blue Cross is looking for people to join the team at the national pet charity’s shop on Pride Hill in Shrewsbury.
The charity shop sells preloved women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, accessories, homeware, toys, books, bric-a-brac and much more.
Volunteers help to sort donations, serve customers and work on the shop floor, as well as creating displays and supporting the team with admin. No experience is needed as Blue Cross will provide full training.
Funds raised by the shop help the national charity to help sick, injured and homeless cats, dogs, small animals and horses at its animal hospitals and rehoming centres across the charity.
David Palmer, Head of Retail Operations at Blue Cross, said: “Money raised from sales in our charity shops helps us to continue to offer vital support to animals in need through our rehoming, veterinary and support services across the country.
"We would love any budding volunteers to consider making it their new year’s resolution to come and join us.
"Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends, and feel part of your community. We'd love to hear from you if you can spare a few hours a week to join our team.”
The shop, at 47 Pride Hill, is open Monday to Saturday 9am - 5pm.

With the increasing demand for Blue Cross pet welfare services, the charity needs the support of animal lovers to continue its work helping pets and their people, in any way they can. Whether that’s by donating to keep rehoming and veterinary services going through these tough times, fundraising for Blue Cross, providing foster care for pets while loving new homes are found, volunteering at pet food banks, or signing up to support Blue Cross campaigns for better pet.
