The Forth Valley Sensory Centre (FVSC) was established in 2006 as the first sensory centre in the UK. They are a hub where people with a visual or hearing loss, their friends, families, carers and the wider community can access quality services and advice from their partner organisations. FVSC's vision is a world where those with sensory loss can live confident and inclusive lives. The Centre run's more than 25 groups and classes as a way to tackle the social isolation that many individuals with sensory loss face. The group also run events and fundraisers throughout the year and have have a café and sensory garden which is open to the public Monday – Friday. They have recently received funding to establish their own Wee County Hub in Clackmannanshire and are looking for volunteers to help bring theirservices to as many people as possible. The main part of the role is to go to external events, info stalls, and open days to promote the Centre and tell the public about the services that we provide. Volunteers will be doing a combination of working independently and with other staff and volunteers, depending on the exact event. All promotional materials given will be made up in advance for you. The timings and location will usually vary. FVSC sometimes will have open days run by ourselves at the Hub in Alloa. If there is something that volunteers would like to do, please just get in touch as we can be very flexible and add to the role.
