Walking Buddy Volunteers

Volunteer for iSightCornwall 

Over 40 per cent of blind and partially sighted people feel cut off from people and things around them and 50 per cent feel limited in the activities they can take part in.

Walking Buddies play a vital role in helping people to overcome these barriers by providing the support they need to get outside for a short walk.

We will aim to match you with someone living in your area and pay your mileage costs.

You will be given training on how to guide visually impaired people and we’ll provide you with a DBS check.

Location: Across Cornwall (we are especially looking in Truro & Newquay)

Hours: preferably once a week however, hours may vary

If you have any questions or would like to apply please contact Sophie.
