About this opportunity
Seescape support over 3500 people with severe visual impairments in Fife. They are looking for enthusiastic and sociable volunteers to join them as they try and prevent our vulnerable members from becoming lonely and withdrawing from their community. Social isolation is extremely common with people who lose their sight however as little as an hour of someone’s time every week to give some company and companionship can go a long way to combat that.
Their current befrienders often describe their experiences as being thoroughly enjoyable and heartwarming. Many feel their own lives are enriched by volunteering in this way and it gives a shape and structure to their own week. This may appeal to those in retirement, semi-retirement or people who have spare time on their hands and would like to give something back to the community.
