Walking Support - Long Bay
Are you someone who enjoys walking and connecting with others? We’re looking for a kind, reliable volunteer to support one of our members on regular local walks. These outings help build confidence, promote independence, and provide wonderful social connection. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys low-key exercise, meaningful conversations and making a real impact in someone’s everyday life. Timing can be flexible, just a consistent weekly commitment is all we ask. Ideally, you'll be based in or near Beach Haven. 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/
