VOLUNTEERING at a charity shop can change your life, according to Oxfam, which has a store in Wellington.

The charity says volunteering leads to an enhanced social life, less loneliness, a better job – and, for one in ten people – a partner.

Daniel O’Driscoll, from Oxfam, said: “Anyone thinking of volunteering is assured of a warm and friendly welcome, so please come and give it go.”
