The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people who are blind or partially sighted never leave home alone. Guide Dogs empowers visually impaired people to do that and relies on the support of the public to fund its services.
Are you an enthusiastic person looking to get involved in your community? Do you like talking to people and going to events? If so why not join our team, promoting and taking part in fundraising activities such as collections, helping at local events and taking collection boxes to local businesses.
It’s a great opportunity to build experience for your CV and have fun whilst supporting us to enable blind and partially-sighted people to enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.
There is no regular time commitment as you can choose which events to support.
A full role description is available on request.
No DBS
