About this opportunity: | Blind Vetrans UK are committed to supporting thier blind veterans no matter where they are. Community outings are blind veterans' chance to get together, meet other blind veterans and have a great day out. They provide crucial social interaction for our veterans who can't reach our centres and can sometimes feel isolated or lonely. Outings volunteers are there to make sure everything runs smoothly and ensure that all blind veterans can get involved with all parts of the day. This particular member would like to attend craft events in Fife to sell woodwork items he has made. For this role, they are looking for volunteers who aren't afraid to get stuck in, and even learn new skills themselves. Volunteers must be over the age of 18 and understand the importance of relationship boundaries. The role can be flexible around your other commitments, but they ask that you are reliable and punctual for the veterans. You will be fully trained and supported so you feel comfortable and confident in your volunteering | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
