Airport Volunteers Revamp NOAH Welfare Centre Shop
Published: 31 October 2011
A charity shop within NOAH Enterprise’s Park Street Welfare Centre has undergone a revamp, courtesy of London Luton Airport’s staff volunteers.
The shop, which provides necessary clothing for Welfare Centre users, is heavily used and was in desperate need of a refresh. A team of five volunteers from various Airport departments took up their brushes and gave the store a bright new look. Once new flooring has been laid, the shop can be restocked and continue to provide essentials for those who need them.
The Welfare Centre is open 365 days a year and is used by over 1,000 people.
Jim O’Connor, Chief Executive of NOAH Enterprise said “This is just one example of the tremendous support that we are receiving from London Luton Airport, for those among the town’s most deprived. Their staff volunteer team brought willing enthusiasm, skills, and huge energy all wrapped in happy smiles. The end result is a pleasant environment in which those who use our services can choose the clothes they need.”
Louise Ross, from the Airport’s Marketing Team commented “We gave just a few hours to help decorate this shop, but it will make so much difference to NOAH and enable them to continue their excellent work at the heart of the Welfare Centre. It was a pleasure to be involved”.
London Luton Airport employees undertake volunteering activities across the local community, working with schools, community groups and charities as part of its wider community relations programme.
