Hoodstone is a new small independent Glasgow based

market and sell, Hoodstone Press will still be able to

Hoodstone is looking for a miminum commitment of 4-
6 hours a week up to as many as they feel comfortable
to offer on a rolling programme. There will be no

general expectation of a commitment to be a
Volunteer for at least 6 months or more, depending on
individual circumstances.

Priority will be given to young people based in Glasgow
and the West of Scotland. If interested please submit
