SHOPS

If you have some spare time and would like to put it to really good use or if you are looking to make new friends and work as part of a happy team why not join us.

At the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital we have three coffee shops on site in the Main Outpatient area, the Treatment Centre and by the Main entrance to the wards. We have approximately 150 volunteers working in the shops providing a service to patients, staff and visitors. The trolley service goes around the wards on a daily basis taking newspapers, toiletries, etc for the patients that are unable to visit the shops.

The shops annual sales are approximately £875,000 and all profits go towards buying essential equipment for the patients.

We are always looking for more volunteers, the shifts are approx 3 hours and we have vacancies for evenings and weekends alongside weekday shifts.

All four Friends Hospital shops are now open.  Opening times as follows:

  • North shop in the Ward block:    Monday – Friday 8.30am – 7.00pm, Saturday 8.30am – 5.30pm, Sunday 10.00am – 3:00pm
  • Teabar in the Outpatients Reception Area: Monday – Friday 8:30am – 4.15 pm
  • Copthorne shop by the Ophthamology dept:  Monday – Friday 10.30am – 1.30pm
  • Oasis in the Treatment Centre: Monday – Friday 9am – 3.30pm
