Appeal for Gosport volunteers to help people living with sight loss to get involved in community support
KINDHEARTED Gosport volunteers are needed to help people living with sight loss.
Guide Dogs is looking for people in the area who can give a few hours a week to support a person with sight loss to get out and about in their local community, building self-confidence, increasing social interaction, and promoting independence.
A My Sighted Guide volunteer said: ‘It’s the highlight of my week.
‘You think that giving just two hours of your time a week can make that much difference.
‘But I have seen the change in my partner, her growth in confidence and fitness has been lovely to see, and makes it so rewarding for me to know I have been a big part of that.’
The charity says that there are several people in the Gosport area in need of support from My Sighted Guide volunteers.
