Group Support - South Auckland
Would you like to lend a hand to a wonderful group of people? We’re looking for a few extra volunteers to support our support group. The role involves helping with tea and coffee, guiding and providing a warm, friendly presence during meetings. The group also enjoys occasional outings during their meeting times so it offers a great way to explore more of Auckland while giving back! 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/
Training is provided. Friendly and approachable, good communication skills and reliable. Ideally based locally or can easily travel to group.
