Scarborough Charity Needs More Help

A Scarborough charity which specialises in helping the homeless has put out an appeal.

The Rainbow Centre operates a food bank, has a cafe, hot showers and can even offer debt advice.

It's fundraising officer is James Howard.

He says they need some extra helpers:

"We're always on the lookout for good volunteers.

"The place is based and built around volunteers, so I think we're willing to double figures every day that we need and a few have gone on to employment recently, so we're just looking to bring new faces in and little bit of enthusiasm."

The Rainbow Centre has been operating for 28 years.

James says there's plenty to do:

" There's all sorts of different roles. We've obviously got the food bank, which is very prominent here, but we've also got reception. We've got client support, then you'd be working directly with me possibly on events and fundraising, which would be more on the weekend. So there's plenty of roles and there's you wouldn't necessarily be stuck to one role.

"You might be able to move around as well. We're open nine till two, Monday to Friday. Time's precious, but if you can give a day or two days that would be greatly appreciated."
