Volunteering

Volunteers are vital to the work we do as a charity.

We want to transform the lives of people living with sight loss, and volunteers help us do that.

We currently have more than 200 volunteers who help support people living with sight loss in a range of roles.

Whatever your time commitment we will have a role for you.

In return you will get a chance to give something back, meet new friends and build your confidence and experience.

“I would thoroughly recommend getting involved with volunteering, it keeps you active and is a great way of meeting people of all walks of life and ‘giving back.’
“It’s made me more aware of people’s needs and hopefully less selfish and more thoughtful.
Volunteering is all I expected and more and I can’t imagine life without it now and would hate to be stuck at home all day and not out meeting people and having fun.”
