Blind Life in Durham could not operate without our volunteers. Our volunteers allow us to provide social and sporting events to people with sight loss and severe sight loss.

As well as being a charity, Blind Life in Durham is also registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee and therefore our trustees are also directors. The members of the charity also may have other conditions in addition to their sight loss and the board take these into consideration as well.

The charity has been running since 2004 and have around 20 volunteers whose input is vital. You would be joining the team as a volunteer who would provide a vital service to our members at a variety of events throughout each month.

You will also be welcome to participate in any of the events, if you choose to and opportunities for presenting new idea’s which will benefit members and volunteers alike.
