Local charity Willen Hospice is encouraging people with a passion for gaming and time to spare to volunteer at its exciting new retail concept, The Hangout, opening soon at Xscape Milton Keynes.
This innovative charity shop will be the ultimate place to “hangout” with a play pass giving access to retro games consoles, a vast selection of arcade games as well as traditional board games, offering something for all ages.
The shop will feature great value new and pre-loved games, toys and accessories and gamers can refuel with light refreshments.
Leila Blaize-Smith, Willen Hospice Retail Project Lead, commented “We are very excited to be partnering with Xscape to bring this great-value family-friendly retail concept to Milton Keynes. As with all our charity shops, we rely heavily on our amazing volunteers, and we hope The Hangout will offer a new way for people to support our charity.”
Lisetta Carpenter, Willen Hospice Volunteer Services Coordinator, adds “This is a great opportunity for anyone with a passion for gaming to come and support a fantastic cause and provide an excellent customer experience. Volunteers need to be aged 16 and above and be able to commit to 4-hour shifts which can be worked any day of the week. Full training and support will be provided.”
