Imagine how you would feel if even the simplest of everyday tasks became fraught with difficulty and frustration - cooking, travelling, shopping, dealing with bills, reading a newspaper or watching television. 

We try to help as much as possible but without our volunteers we would not be able to offer the wide range of services that we do. It is thanks to their dedication, determination and sheer hard work that we are able to support over 2,000 visually impaired people and help them to live as independently as possible.

Our team of volunteers provide companionship, support and practical help for hundreds of people who are blind or partially sighted. They also help us with administration, transport and fundraising.

All volunteers will be required to undergo a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check. If you would like to find out more about volunteering call 0118 987 2803 or e-mail office@bcbs.org.uk.
