We provide high levels of clinical care to the families of children and young adults with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. Children, young people and family members are welcomed into a friendly, home from home environment. The support we offer includes physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual care from a dedicated multi-disciplinary care team. Telephone Support is available 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
Description of role: We are actively looking for volunteers to help us in one of our upcoming supermarket collections, if this sounds like something you can help with, then please read on!

We have kindly been gifted the space for a collection by one of our supporters, Morrisons in Cheadle Heath, Stockport. We need someone to hold a Francis House bucket near the entrance/exit, as well as thank people who donate. Not only will you be helping raise funds for children with life limiting and life threatening conditions, but you will also feel a great sense of pride, and it's something that will look fantastic on your CV!

We are looking for help on both the 5th and 6th September. 10am-4pm both days.

From the Manchester Museum, you can hop on the 42C or 42B, and hop off at Mary Street (Stop C). Then, cross the road to access the number 11 bus, ride 6 stops, and exit at Bird Hall Lane, which is conveniently 300ft away from Morrisons Cheadle Heath.

There are a variety of routes available, and some will be better suited to you than the one above. We advise that you install Google Maps, enter the Morrisons location, and determine the best route for you.
