Volunteering with British Wireless for the Blind

British Wireless for the Blind Fund (BWBF) would not be able to continue to help people with sight loss if it wasn’t for the fantastic support of our army of volunteers.

Our charity is lucky to be helped by 45 people who commit their time to us for free and make a real difference to those who use our services.

Not only does volunteering help support BWBF but could help you as well.

It could be a route to employment, a chance to try something new or a way to give.

Gain new skills, knowledge and experience
