If you have some time to spare, a little or a lot, and you would like to make a difference in your local community, we’d love to hear from you.

Hear from some of our Volunteers
Being a volunteer is fun and very rewarding. I have found it has greatly improved my mental health, and being with someone whose needs are specific is a great privilege. – Liz
I have learnt to be guided by the client, and what they are hoping to get out of the relationship. I found that listening is an essential part of the process, and I have learnt a great deal from both ladies. I really can recommend becoming a befriender for MyVision. – Avril
I would definitely recommend becoming a befriending volunteer with MyVision. I feel good about bringing a little company to someone who is unable to get out and about and I really enjoy the chats and value the friendship we have established. – Phillipa
