RNIB appeal

Dear Editor,

As RNIB Community Fundraising Manager I am looking for volunteers to join my existing team in Northern Ireland.

Every day over 100 people start to lose their sight. The Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) helps to rebuild lives devastated by sight loss by providing over 60 services for people who are blind or visually impaired.

There are a variety of fundraising volunteering roles currently available throughout the local area. This includes people required to conduct collections in local supermarkets, count & bank the money, administration roles and speakers.

In addition I am looking for people interested in organising ad-hoc fundraising events relating to things they may already be involved in from charity golf days, coffee mornings to activities at their local school or church group.

As an organisation we receive no Government or statutory funding and rely on generous donations from the general public. Much of our funding comes from our famous “Sooty” boxes, which many of your readers may have seen in shops, restaurants and pubs throughout the area.

Any readers who feel they can offer help a few hours per month, to undertake this rewarding work, should contact me to discuss the flexible volunteering opportunities within RNIB.

I can be contacted on 02891871519 or email [email protected]

Thank you for your support.

Richard Moore

Community Fundraising Manager
