Volunteers are recruited and trained by the society to be placed with visually impaired people who need help in a variety of ways. All our volunteers are CRB checked.

These can include 'being a friend' or a 'listening ear' in addition to specific needs such as help with  personal shopping, reading, answering correspondence and visiting places of interest. All these things help to regain confidence so often lost through visual impairment.

If you feel you, or someone you know, could benefit from this service please get in touch.

You can get more information about becoming a volunteer in the Volunteers section of this website.
