Key Responsibilities:
- Host or co-host weekly conversation sessions online (2–2.5 hours)

- Help create a welcoming, supportive environment
- Respect and support participants with different English levels

The Vision Friends project has been running successfully for the past five years, providing free, Welsh Government-funded training to health and social care professionals across Wales. The training is designed to help professionals better understand and support people living with sight loss.
This year, we are launching a new strand of the project: Vision Friends: First Responders. The aim is to adapt our existing training to specifically support first responder services to enhance their ability to support individuals with sight loss in emergency and urgent care situations.
We are seeking a committed and empathetic volunteer to help us shape a more inclusive future by gathering valuable feedback from blind and partially sighted individuals, as well as first responders via online forums. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact on how services are developed and delivered across communities in Wales and beyond.

Support RNIB in creating a positive and inclusive environment for all forum participants.
What you will gain:
Valuable experience in community engagement and facilitation;
The opportunity to influence real change;
Full access to training and ongoing support from the health and social care training team;
A supportive, inclusive volunteering environment.
Please note, this volunteering opportunity takes place on Fridays only and is expected to last until Autumn 2025.
Experience of Welsh language skills and/or Microsoft Teams or Zoom would be helpful but not essential.

You will also need to have strong organisational skills, be reliable and and are committed to RNIB’s values of inclusivity and respect
