Blind Veterans UK (Fife)
- VO104238
Can you spare a couple of hours a week to brighten someone’s day? Community volunteers for Blind Veterans UK provide crucial social interaction for our veterans who can often feel isolated or lonely.
Blind Veterans UK is looking for a friendly, reliable volunteer to support a veteran in Leven with weekly trips to the local shops to get the essentials in. They would enjoy having a volunteer who is also able to break the trip up by having a cup of hot chocolate and a chat. Volunteers must be over the age of 18, be able to use their own vehicle to transport the veteran and have held their driving licence for 2+ years. You will be fully trained and supported so you feel comfortable and confident in your volunteering. Although you will be volunteering in the community independently, your manager is only a phone call away to support you.
Experience required
Volunteers should be reliable and punctual for the veterans. You must also have your own car and a clean driving licence. Reliability & Punctuality. The role involves regular social interaction, so warmth and good communication are key.
Travel details
Leven. Volunteers must have their own car and be able to drive to collect the veteran and take them to the shops.
