Peer Support
We are looking for a compassionate volunteer to accompany a member to and from their support group once a month. This role involves offering support and companionship during the journey. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact in someone's life while fostering community connections. About Blind Low Vision NZ: Every day, an average of nine New Zealanders turn to Blind Low Vision NZ for support with vision loss. We provide emotional and practical support, so that people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision can keep working and living independently. We meet people in their homes or at their local Blind Low Vision NZ office to collectively make this happen. We also advocate for accessible and inclusive communities. We believe people with vision loss deserve equal access to public spaces, information and careers. This is made possible through education and removing barriers. At Blind Low Vision NZ we believe no goal is too big or small. https://blindlowvision.org.nz/
Good communication skills. Preferred qualities: Empathy, reliability, punctuality and a desire to learn more about vision loss.
Every last Wednesday of the month from 10am - 12.30pm
