Become a volunteer

Sight Advice relies on the support of an army of volunteers both visually impaired and sighted, and we also believe in providing a rewarding experience for our volunteers. We provide training and support to make sure you get the most out of your experience with us. However, to give you a flavour of how volunteers are helping us here are a few examples:

• Activities – We have a range of groups from games, walking and Book at Bedtime, to name just a few. To enable the events to happen they need support from volunteer guides, readers and drivers.
• Fundraising – We may not be allowed to rattle our collection tins any more but we need volunteers to support our fundraising activities which include: street collections, events, publicity and collection boxes.
• Support in the Community – Volunteers assist at and run information and support groups around the local towns and villages.  We offer a range of different services that support our visually impaired and blind service users.  Please contact us to find out more about how you can support us.
• Administration – Volunteers help keep our database up to date, help with mailing and answering the phone.  The administration role is often combined with assisting in the Sight Advice main office.
• Trustees – Provide Governance for the organisation.  There are bi-monthly meetings with updates in the intervening months.  Trustees may provide additional support at other times.
