Sighted Guide

Role
We are looking for friendly volunteers who enjoy talking and listening to our clients whilst guiding them around the activity or sport they are attending. You will undergo training and learn to safely guide someone with sight loss, helping them to navigate their environment and feel confident and involved. This can also include helping them to safely move around the space, join in the activity, and also describing to them what is happening and what details you can see that they might enjoy. Becoming a volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference and support your local community. Vision Norfolk also offers regular advice, support, and training and payment of out of pocket expenses agreed in advance.

Time Commitment
Hours are flexible depending on which activities you participate in and how much time you would like to commit. We are looking for volunteers across Norfolk.

About the organisation: Vision Norfolk aims to improve the confidence, skills and social engagement of vision impaired people of all ages in Norfolk by delivering high-quality services and practical and emotional support which enables them to live independent and fulfilled lives.
