  About this opportunity:	Seescape support over 3500 people with severe visual impairments in Fife. They require enthusiastic and sociable volunteers to join them to try and prevent their vulnerable members from becoming lonely and withdrawing from their community. They want to add to their volunteers who help give their users a brilliant opportunity to get out of the house, meet friends and give their week a meaningful structure. Their volunteers assist in arranging activities for the group such as inviting guests to speak about their areas of expertise, share stories or provide entertainment.
