Volunteer Outings Companion, Alton Area

2 weeks ago


East Tisted, United Kingdom Blind Veterans UK Full time

Can you spare a few hours a week to brighten someone’s day?

We are committed to supporting our blind veterans no matter where they are. Some of our members would like more varied support and an Outings Companion is sought for this gentleman to enable him to continue to hike and explore the beautiful rural area of Hampshire where he is based.

Our veteran is in his early 70’s and is fit and active despite his sight loss. He served in the Royal Engineers for 6 years in Europe and Canada. He has the support of close family and friends but gains much from meeting new people and getting out on his own, with additional support.

Although you will be active in the community independently, your manager is only a phone call away and there is a network of other volunteers for you to link in with too. Volunteers must be over the age of 18 years, fit and outgoing, a confident hiker and car driver preferably.

An understanding of the importance of confidentiality and relationship boundaries is essential. The role can be flexible around your other commitments, but we ask that you are reliable and punctual for our veterans. You will be fully trained and supported so you feel comfortable and confident in your volunteering, and will learn additional skills such as sighted guiding.
