Vista is Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland's leading charity for people with sight loss
Our volunteers are important in helping us to carry out our life-changing work. Your skills, experience and enthusiasm are a huge part of everything we do.
Volunteering with Vista can benefit you too - developing skills, gaining confidence, demonstrating your commitment, building your experience, meeting new people and knowing that you are making a difference to local people with sight or dual sensory loss.
There are many ways you can be involved - in our social groups, with our charity shops, fundraising events, and more.
Take a look at the opportunities currently available, and if you’re interested please complete an application form.
We are looking for people to help in our charity shops in Shepshed and Rothley. You'll help us to meet and greet customers and manage the shop floor. You'll also help to sort stock, keep the shop presentable, price and display goods and operate the till. If you'd like to have an informal chat about this role, please get in touch.
At Vista, our collection boxes play a vital role in generating income and raising our profile in local communities. We urgently need volunteers to collect, count and bank donations received through charity collection boxes and act as a liaison between the box holders and Vista. If you could give a little time to help bring in this money in your local community we would love to hear from you.
We have ambitious targets to reach in the fundraising team at Vista. One way we want to increase our income and local profile is by holding more regular bucket collections - but to make them successful we need a team of enthusiastic and willing volunteers to hold the buckets and collect vital funds for us.
To make our regular bucket collections successful, we need a dynamic, enthusiastic and willing volunteer to lead the team.
