Berkshire Vision provides vital practical and friendly support, sport and activities to visually impaired children and adults, and their families in Berkshire.

Right now Berkshire Vision offers a continually developing sport and activities programme for their members and they need volunteers to help.

They are looking for volunteers to assist with any of the following: tandem cycling, rock climbing, golf, running, dragon boating, swimming, tennis and more.

The time commitment varies and is very flexible as they’ll have sports and activities happening all the time.

Please note that applicants need to be aged 18 or over and that their application procedure consists of an application form and two references. Some positions require a DBS check.

Assisting Berkshire Children to Read (ABC to Read) is an award-winning charity that supports children who are struggling to read by finding, training and supporting volunteers to work with them in primary schools around Berkshire.

Colostomy UK provides a range of support to Ostomates who engage with us in several ways, often seeking support and advice from other Ostomates.

These include our Helpline, Facebook group, Tidings, Live chat and many others.

Currently they are seeking someone to fulfil the role of a Support Services Volunteer, to assist their Support Team and other departments with a variety of day to day activities.

Training and team support will be provided.

Most of the activities will be office-based administrative work, so a solid understanding and range of skills in IT will go a long way.

Take a look at our brand new Reading Volunteer Connect platform for details of these and many more opportunities to volunteer via our website, www.rgneeds.me. Want to get in touch? Drop us an email at volunteering@rva.org.uk or call 0118 937 2273.
