Volunteering with Vista can benefit you too - developing skills, gaining confidence, demonstrating your commitment, building your experience, meeting new people and knowing that you are making a difference to local people with sight or dual sensory loss.

There are many ways you can be involved - in our social groups, with our charity shops, fundraising events, and more.
