David and Jennifer Howitt know all about buddying up at the Community Shop

08.28.2025 by Admin //

They are one of a number of couples who volunteer for us on a regular basis. “I’ve been volunteering since 2019,” says Jennifer. “It was just before Covid.” “I was only a bit later than you,” says David. “I came in to do an emergency shift and I’m still here! It gets me up in the morning.” A study of 40,000 people published by Social Psychology magazine has just found that almost every human activity is improved by having company. You don’t have to be married to buddy up on a shop or café shift, but we find that working with someone else makes the experience a lot more fun. You can bring a mate, or we will find somebody for you to team up with. “It is good fun when you’re actually doing it,” says David about their Early Bird 7 to 9am shift. “And it’s great to give something back.” To find out more about ways of volunteering, come and see us, or give Michele a call in 01608 682838
