Helpful information for current volunteers
Join our Volunteer Council
Our Volunteer Council is a group of around 12 volunteers who meet on a quarterly basis (over Skype/conference call) with our Volunteering and Resourcing Team to share their feedback and discuss improvements they would like to make to the volunteer experience. They represent the volunteer voice in RNIB. Membership changes after the sixth meeting (with a new group joining every 18 months).
If you would like to share ideas, discuss suggestions, issues and solutions on wider RNIB volunteering with a Volunteer Council member, email [email protected]. Or after being a volunteer for some time would like to become part of the Volunteer Council, please email us at [email protected] (you can do this at any time of the year).
