MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS

Christine - Donations Team

I’m Christine and I am part of the Donations Team based in the Merry-go-round hub. I volunteer twice a week, helping to sort and size the donations and get them ready for the shop. I also help put Carousel packs together.
When I’m not volunteering, I look after my gorgeous and mischievous grandson. The Merry-go-round hub is normally buzzing with lots of staff and volunteers around. It has a really nice atmosphere and we always manage a laugh when getting through the donations. The volunteer team are invited to social events and Merry-go-round offers an excellent reward scheme which makes us feel valued and appreciated. 

Alan - Van driver

I’m Alan, the Volunteer Driver with Merry-go-round. I am retired and when I’m not volunteering, I enjoy spending my time playing golf and helping to look after my great nieces and nephew.
My role involves moving stock between the shop and sorting hub as well as delivering the Carousel packs in the brightly coloured Merry-go-round van all over Glasgow to our partnering agencies, who pass them on to families that need additional support. I would like to think that in some small way I am making a difference to the young families of Glasgow.
