Raise money your way

From supermarket collections to coffee mornings, we are always looking for people who are happy to hold a stall or sell raffle tickets. You might have your own idea, such as a sponsored walk.

We support those who support us, and can supply sponsor forms, collection tins and T-shirts.

Fundraise

From supermarket collections, to coffee mornings throughout the year - we are always looking for people who are happy to hold a stall or sell raffle tickets.

Maybe you have an idea of your own such as completing a sponsored walk. We are open to supporting those who support us and can supply sponsor forms, collection tins and T-shirts.

Volunteer

We depend on the services of volunteers for a whole range of activities.

From driving our minibuses, to being in the kitchen preparing and serving teas. Also just being there as a friend! These positions are very rewarding and highly appreciated by both our visually impaired members and everyone involved in the society.

Volunteers are always needed at either of our charity shops too, we’d love for your to help sort through the donations we receive.
