RNIB is looking for volunteers to join our cheer squad for the London Marathon on Sunday 28th April. Our amazing team of 100 runners is set to raise an incredible £230,000 and they need your support! If you can spare a few hours of your time to cheer on our inspirational runners please contact us!
Would you like to help blind and partially sighted people in your community? Do you enjoy driving and meeting new people? RNIB wants you to be a Volunteer Driver. For the people they help, our volunteer drivers provide a friendly face to brighten their day and help get them to where they need to be. Our drivers can become a regular part of someone’s life and it may be the only chance an RNIB customer has had to get out of their home for some time. If you are friendly, courteous and reliable then this is the opportunity for you.
We are particularly looking for drivers in Glasgow and Ayr.
Can you help people with sight loss choose the right option of support? Our RNIB telephone volunteers help to take referrals, arrange the most suitable confidence building course, and gain important customer feedback.
This is an excellent opportunity to provide essential admin support to our Confidence Building Team, working closely with services such as Living with Sight Loss courses and Talk & Support.
Do you have good organisational and administrative skills; are you passionate about helping blind and partially sighted people? If you are keen and enthusiastic why not join our friendly team and help us with our latest project which is creating a ‘Toolkit’ on SharePoint.
This is a short term position until Mid April
Do you have an interest in how technology can enable blind and partially sighted people to access information, develop their skills and become independent? By using your knowledge and expertise in ICT and other access technology, you can help reduce people’s isolation and exclusion in a world increasingly reliant on computers.
You will be helping customers at Sidmouth Library.
Do you have an interest in how technology can enable people with sight loss to live connected, independent lives? We'd love you to get involved in our regional hubs, working with our technology service coordinators to help people with sight loss develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to use everyday technology. We need volunteers every other Wednesday from 10am to 12pm.
Do you enjoy meeting new people? We’re looking for someone to provide ad hoc help and support at various events in your local area. You could act as a guide or a steward, exercise guide dogs, read information, or help with refreshments. This is the perfect opportunity if you have limited availability but still want to get involved.
Do you enjoy meeting new people and developing new relationships? We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who could help us to raise vital funds and increase awareness of sight loss and RNIB’s work by helping out with any of our fundraising activities such as bucket collections, awareness raising talks and helping out in the local office.
We are looking for friendly volunteers to assist in the running of our café and drop in centre for blind and partially sighted people. We require help in the kitchen, preparing food, cleaning and waiting on tables.
A passion for cooking is desirable but not essential. Experience in cash handling and how to use a cash register would be advantageous. This role is flexible - If there are certain tasks within this role that appeal to you more than others, we can adapt the role to suit your skills and interests. The café is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 3:30pm.
Do you enjoy baking? Would you like an appreciative audience for your talents? We are looking for a volunteer to come into our Edinburgh headquarters a couple of mornings or afternoons per week to bake tasty treats for the blind and partially sighted people who use our cafe and drop in centre.
