This service provides vital support to our blind and partially sighted members and we are in desperate need of more volunteers.
"If you enjoy making a difference and would like the social interaction, then this volunteer role is for you.
"
Cara Rogers, volunteer development officer, said: "Our blind and partially sighted members occasionally need the support of a volunteer, which can be sometimes done over the phone. You will be amazed at the difference an hour or two of your time can make to someone's life." or other volunteering opportunities
