Sight loss can take away independence and confidence, and leave those affected isolated. Berkshire Vision supports hundreds of blind and partially sighted children and adults across the county, helping them to live their lives to the full.

We have opportunities for all members of our community and we want you to join us.

We are looking for Tech Buddies to help our visually impaired members if they have an issue with their smartphone, tablet or virtual assistance device. So if you know your way around technology and have enough patience to help someone else, please do get in touch.

We are also looking for Telephone Befrienders.

Our volunteers offer a telephone befriending service to our visually impaired members which helps them to feel less isolated. As well as telephone support, we are also looking for “Realeyes” befrienders who visit our visually impaired members at home or take them out to a coffee shop, for a walk or other activity. Being visually impaired can be a very isolating and lonely experience but our Realeyes befrienders provide support and encouragement. If you can help with any of these roles, please get in touch.

Could you be a Trustee?

Promise Inclusion need trustees to help run our amazing charity that provides support to children and adults with a learning disability and/or autism, their carers and families across the Boroughs of Wokingham and Bracknell. We cannot run this organisation without trustees.

We are looking to appoint trustees to strengthen the expertise of our board and to help meet the challenges of delivering its strategy of growth.
