The volunteer-manager who has doubled sales at Borehamwood's Oxfam shop is leaving because of a lack of volunteers. Maggie Kerton, who has worked at the shop for six years and been manager for a year and a half, is leaving because of the pressures of covering shifts for which she has had no volunteers. Ms Kerton said she was sorry to be leaving the Shenley Road shop.
