Sighted Guide (Queens Park)

RNIB Glasgow
VO104958

Would you like to give practical help to people with sight loss? RNIB are looking for volunteers to act as sighted guides to support our weekly walking group at Queens Park in Glasgow's Southside.
Our community groups are always looking for sighted guide volunteers to assist attendees and ensure their comfort and safety. If you are passionate about helping others to get out and about then this may be the perfect role for you.
You would be directly supporting blind and partially sighted people by guiding them on their walk around Queen's Park.
Perhaps you have some free time during the week to give something back, enjoy meeting new people or want to develop your skills, we'd love to hear from you. Our Queens Park walking group meet every Monday morning from 10am for approximately 90 minutes. We ask that you can commit to at least 2 walks per month but are welcome to assist every week.
We are looking for enthusiastic and caring individuals who are chatty and active. As this is a walking group with varied abilities, a good level of physical health is expected. RNIB will provide relevant training including how to guide a blind person and safeguarding training in addition to regustration of Scotland's PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups) scheme. Volunteer travel expenses are also covered and we welcome applicants from across Glasgow.
