We're looking for Gift wrappers!
As part of Jackson Square's 24 day Christmas countdown, we will be offering our gift wrapping skills in return for donations to the NSPCC, as we need all hands on deck! Based in what was the trolley bay just inside Sainsbury's Jackson Square, we will seek out people that are shopping for Christmas gifts, and offer to wrap those gifts for them in return for donations. If you can help, we would love to have you!
We have the space from 10am-5pm so it would be great to have a number of volunteers who could do a few hours each. Commit as much or little time as you have available, we'd be grateful for your time and helping hands.
- Want to help us but only have your lunch break available? We'd love to have you!
- Love to help us but only have an hour whilst your child is at pre-school? We'd love you to join us!
- Happy to get involved but not the best at wrapping? That's ok, you can take donations and invite shoppers to trust us with their gifts!
- Have a team of staff who have a volunteering day free? We would be delighted to have you!
What you'll do
- Come along to Sainbury's, Jackson Square, Bishops Stortford
- Join us on our Gift wrapping station
- Wear an NSPCC tshirt to help raise awareness of our charities' presence in the town
- Help wrap presents
- Take donations (cash or card machine)
- Invite Stortford shoppers to leave their gifts in our trusted hands and return to find them wrapped beautifully, ready for Christmas!
- Raise vital funds for children in Hertfordshire
- Help the NSPCC keep more children safe from abuse and neglect
- Have fun!

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
