Volunteer for RNIB Group

Volunteers work with us to support blind and partially sighted people in a variety of locations across the UK. We have over 100 different volunteering roles available which can be done from home, based at an RNIB Group office or out and about in the community.

As a volunteer with RNIB Group, you'll receive on-going support, guidance and training from your designated manager. You'll also receive a monthly magazine to keep you in touch with our organisations and the latest volunteering news.

Please be aware that the majority of our volunteering opportunities do not have a closing date. The role will come down from the website when the service manager wishes to stop advertising. This could be because a volunteer has been found or the manager has sufficient people to interview. It is therefore advisable if you are interested in applying for one of our volunteering roles that you apply quickly. You may of course call us on 01733 37 54 50 or 0845 60 30 575 to check the role is still open.
