Anne Says Goodbye
Anne White started working as a volunteer at St Vincent’s Furniture Store in Sheffield just after it opened back in the 1980’s. She has completed nearly 30 years of dedicated service.
After suffering ill health at the beginning of the year Anne has decided to take a well-earned rest and therefore is hanging up her telephone headset and computer mouse. For several years she also sat on the Management Committees of both the Store and St Vincent’s Shop on Abbeydale Road in Sheffield.
IT’S BACK – MOTHER OF GOD’S GOT TALENT 3
Due to popular demand the talent contest of the year is back.

Thank you to all Our Volunteers
On Wednesday 8th June, St Vincent’s Furniture Store held a Celebration afternoon for it’s volunteers. This was to coincide with National Volunteer Week, which took place between 1st June and 12th June 2016.
There are 30 volunteers working at the Store and in the words of the Store’s Manager, Lorraine Healy,
“We couldn’t function without our volunteers. They are such an integral part of what we do and the help we give to people. Without them, the Store could not exist, they keep it going and the staff and myself and so grateful to them for the time and energy they give”.
There was a buffet followed by an Awards Ceremony, with each volunteer receiving a recognition certificate. A great afternoon was had by all.
