During the month of August we are recruiting volunteers to help support our sight impaired islanders.

Volunteers are the backbone of our service enabling us to be able to provide more activities and support for our members. Volunteering can be extremely rewarding and can be a way of giving something back to the community where you live.

 

“The idea of giving might be in your mind, but you will be receiving more”

We work with every volunteer to match their skills to a suitable volunteer role while giving them sight awareness training and sighted guiding skills.
