Volunteers sought for Lisburn In Focus
Lisburn in Focus, a Big Lottery funded project, led by The Royal National Institute for the Blind in Northern Ireland, has recently set up a Befriending Scheme for blind and partially sighted people living within the Lisburn area.
They are seeking new volunteers who can make a commitment to meeting with a resident once a fortnight, for around two hours at a time.
Lisburn in Focus Volunteer Manager, Richard Craig, said: “People with sight loss suffer an increased risk of isolation and depression yet many are not in touch with available support.
