Sooty Volunteers

RNIB (Grampian Services)
VO101232

Join our community of incredible volunteer Sooty Box collectors and help us give blind and partially sighted people the support they need.

RNIB needs volunteers to collect and bank donations received through our Sooty Boxes, which play a vital role in generating much-needed funds and raising our profile in local communities. Last year, volunteers collected over £300,000 from sites across the UK.

The role is completely flexible, can be performed by individuals, pairs or groups and the time you dedicate is entirely up to you and your commitments. You can give your time as little or as often as you like! No experience is required as full training and support is given.

A fantastic, enjoyable opportunity to help make a real difference with the RNIB and the people we support. All volunteers are greatly appreciated.

To get involved/for more information please contact Sarah McKean, Community Stewardship Manager at email: sarah.mckean@rnib.org.uk or telephone: 07872 415293.
