It's Volunteers Week, and we’re celebrating the wonderful Scarlett!
Scarlett has been volunteering with us for 6 years, using her incredible creativity to brighten up our Wilson Street store in Glasgow, even showcasing her handmade jewellery collection in-store.
Here’s Scarlett’s story 🫶:
“Hello! My name is Scarlett. I’ve been volunteering with Barnardo's for six years. When I transferred to the Wilson Street shop in Glasgow, the team gave me the freedom to really let my creativity run wild with visual merchandising and window displays. As a fashion design student, I’m always making, creating, and experimenting with new ideas.
About two years ago, I started collecting can tabs from the restaurant where I work and turning them into jewellery. The Merchant City Festival felt like the perfect moment to showcase my very first collection. I spent months of my free time handmaking every piece, and it completely sold out!
I’m still buzzing from all the support and encouragement I received along the way. Huge thank you to the amazing team, especially Gina, Chloe, and Maryam!”
From volunteering in-store to showcasing her own designs, Scarlett’s story is a brilliant example of how creativity and confidence can grow when given the space to shine 💫
