Thank you to our Volunteers Dear volunteers, Thank you so much for everything you do.

All HERIB volunteers receive an induction and training in Visual Impairment Awareness and other relevant courses.

We never cease to be amazed by what our volunteers do for HERIB and we are very grateful for their fantastic commitment.

Travel and other expenses will be paid as appropriate.

As a charity, we couldn’t offer a number of really important services without people donating their time as volunteers.

Our training courses aim to offer anyone the skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver services which are accessible and inclusive for visually impaired people. They are suitable for caring and support staff, retail, entertainment and front line public sector staff.

Volunteers assist with our day groups, help with our charity administration, support our fundraising activities, help run our mobile resource service and lots more! They give up huge amounts of time, take on unglamorous but necessary work and do it with a smile. Every one of our volunteers makes a massive difference. If you have not tried volunteering, there’s no better time to get involved. You can find out more about all of the ways you can volunteer for HERIB by requesting a copy of our hand up for HERIB leaflets by calling us on 01482 342297 or emailing us at mail@herib.co.uk.
