Home visitor (Durham)

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. Our community home visitors provide crucial social interaction for our veterans who can often feel isolated or lonely.

We have a veteran in the Durham area who would like a volunteer to visit them at home for a chat and a cup of tea once a week. They would also like to go out into the community and access the Blind Veterans UK lunch group in Chester le Street once a month. If this is something you think you can help with, we would love to hear from you!

Although you will be working 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 and understand the importance of confidentiality and relationship boundaries. 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.
