The British Red Cross shop in Diss is seeking volunteers to help raise vital funds and support people facing crisis.

Nicole Green, retail volunteer manager for the British Red Cross, said: "Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.

"Whether someone can spare a few hours a week or more regular time, every contribution helps us support people in crisis.

"We're always keen to welcome new volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences, and we'd love to hear from anyone who is interested in getting involved."

No previous retail experience is needed, and training is provided.

Volunteers assist with sorting donations, serving customers, creating displays, and helping the shop run smoothly.

One volunteer said: "When I first started volunteering, I was looking for a way to get out of the house and meet people.

"I quickly became part of a friendly team, learned new skills and gained confidence.

"It's one of the most rewarding things I've done."
