I HAVE been appointed as Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) community fundraising manager and I am looking for volunteers to join my existing team in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Every day over 100 people begin to lose their sight. The RNIB helps rebuild lives devastated by sight loss by providing more than 60 services for blind or visually impaired people.
We do not receive any Government or statutory funding and rely on generous donations from the public. Much of our funding comes from our famous "Sooty" boxes, which many readers may have seen in shops, restaurants and pubs throughout the area.
To collect, count and bank the £60,000 generated through Sooty boxes in Yorkshire and Humberside I am looking for volunteers to help as box collectors in their local villages, towns and cities. If you can offer to help for a few hours a month with this rewarding work, contact me to discuss the RNIB's flexible volunteering opportunities.
Ring me on 01423 819 753, or via e-mail at scott.wall@rnib.org.uk
