How You Can Help
Volunteers play a most vital role in the work of CVV. It is the time given up freely by our volunteers that allow us to help visually impaired people throughout our community. Quite simply, without Volunteers the CVV cannot function, cannot reach those most in need of help and reassurance, cannot provide a source of hope and independence.
Volunteers help us to run a wide range of important services such as social activity clubs, home visits, safe transportation, hospital support at the eye clinic, Braille and computer training and a resource centre packed with aids and gadgets to name but a few.
Befriending is one of the most useful ways in which volunteers can help us to help our friends. Our Befriending Volunteers help with:
- reading letters
- sorting post
- help with shopping
- going for walks
- companionship
As little as an hour each month can make all the difference to somebody on the edge of isolation.
If you think that you might be able to help in some way call us on 029 2048 5414, call into our offices on Newport Road or download an application form from: http://www.rnib.org.uk/getinvolved/volunteer/opportunities/wales/Pages/befriender.aspx
