We are looking for friendly individuals to join us as Volunteer Befrienders, providing support to people living locally who are blind or have a visual impairment. We will match you one-to-one with clients who share similar interests and hobbies and we ask you to spend a few hours a week or fortnight with them, helping them to live their life to the full. This could involve visiting at home to provide companionship or help with everyday tasks, such as reading mail, or enabling them to get out and about with confidence or enjoy a favourite hobby. We’ve had requests for everything from hill-walking and swimming, to strolls along the beach, afternoon tea and baking! This service really helps our clients enable them to live the lifestyle they want and enjoy the interests and hobbies they have, as well as overcoming the effects of social isolation or loneliness. We provide a full range of training including Sighted Guide
