Volunteer sacked from charity shop

[Jazzy]

Technology can be hard to grasp sometimes.

But it seems a great-grandmother’s lack of enthusiasm for all things computing has cost her the volunteering job she’s been doing for nearly 30 years.

Jane Brooks, 75, has been helping at the Dove House Hospice in Cottingham, Hull, for the last 29 years.

She was given the boot from one of the charity’s shops, but has appealed to hospice trustees to take her back.

Mrs Brooks says she has been left ‘shattered’ by the treatment, having helped build the charity since the 1980s.

She told the Hull Daily Mail: ‘I told them I was wiling and able to do anything else, such as washing items when they come into the shop and hanging them on the rails, which I already did.

‘But I’m not comfortable about using technology. I don’t even own a mobile phone. The next thing I knew I received a letter through my door.’

The letter said her service was no longer required, but thanked Mrs Brooks, a widow, for her years of service.
