Volunteer with us!

 

Happy March everyone!

The sun is out and it finally feels like Spring is around the corner! Since Spring is a time for new beginnings and shaking off the winter blues- perhaps you are looking for a new experience or to get more involved in the local community?

Why not come and volunteer with us! We have some new volunteer positions we are looking to fill which you can check out on our Volunteer page here

 

If you are interested in any of these positions, or would like to know more about volunteering with us, please contact us on volunteers@bairnecessities.co.uk

Bairnecessities HQ!

It’s official- we finally have the keys to our new building!

After a lot of hard work, our volunteer board have completed the transfer of our new building from Aberdeenshire Council. We have big plans for our new HQ in Maud and before we can move in we have a lot of renovation work to do.

Helen has filmed a little ‘before’ video of how everything is looking at the moment, and talks about what we plan to do to, so if you missed that you can check it out here

There is lots to do and we plan on taking you on this journey with us so, watch this space!

Christmas advent

In December, our monthly wishlist was closed. Instead we decided to do a reverse advent calendar. This was a huge success with many businesses/ work places taking part. Items on our list included: hats & gloves, toiletries, nappies and other essentials!

We have moved!

Since Bairnecessities began we had been working between 3 shipping containers. This restricted how many items we could keep in stock due to storage space.
In November 2023, we moved across the road to a huge warehouse. This has been a great benefit for Bairnecessities, allowing our stock intake to increase, volunteers can attend more frequently and allow a brand new delivery service working in partnership with NERVS.

Reorganisation!

Clothing unit

Last week a few of our volunteers were out at the units to give it a slight ‘make over’!
We removed the old shelves and mirrored the other side to gain more space. This included building new shelving units.

Here is our clothing coordinator Wendy moving the clothing bundles around to make it easier to identify our boxes.

Thanks to everyones generous support we are currently at capacity for clothing at the moment unless stated on our monthly wishlists.
