The Vision Foundation is always grateful to anyone who wants to volunteer their time to help us change lives and save sight. From volunteer mentor to Marathon cheerleader, shop assistant to vintage treasure-seeker, there are loads of ways you can volunteer your time and skills with Vision Foundation. You don’t need a lot of time to make a big difference. While some roles have a minimum time commitment, others are very flexible or even one-off opportunities. Volunteering can help increase your skills and confidence. It’s a great way to improve your CV, encounter different experiences and meet new people. And we’ll be there to support you all the way. Why volunteers are so important to the Vision Foundation Volunteers are at the heart of what we do, helping us reach more of the 200,000 blind and partially sighted people in London. To change lives and save sight, we need to build a movement of generous people like you who want to make a difference by supporting us in our charity shops or elsewhere in the community. Join us. We have a number of volunteering opportunities, including: Working in our network of charity shops – 7 shops around Greater London Organising community fundraising events Supporting our head office through volunteer administration and research Cheering squads at our runs and challenge events Volunteer profiles Customer Experience Assistant – role profile eBay Sales Assistant – role profile Donation Hub Coordinator – role profile Inclusion and accessibility The Vision Foundation is passionate about giving everyone equal opportunities to volunteer, and we welcome your application whoever you are and whatever your needs. We work hard to ensure our volunteer opportunities are accessible to and inclusive of disabled people and other minority groups. Blind and partially sighted volunteers Lots of blind and partially sighted volunteers support the Vision Foundation and our delivery partners. We particularly welcome volunteers who have lived experience of sight loss. Expenses No one should be out of pocket for volunteering, so we reimburse travel and lunch expenses for roles where this is relevant.
