Somerset Sight is a local charity that has been supporting sight impaired people across Somerset for over a hundred years and in 2019 proudly won the Queens Award for Voluntary Service.
One of our services is the Volunteer Visiting Service whereby volunteers are matched locally with a sight impaired person for regular visits for company and support and to alleviate their loneliness and isolation.
Volunteers help with a variety of tasks such as:
Reading
Catching up on correspondence
Making appointments
Going out for a drive
Enjoying a cup of tea and a chat.
The people they support very much look forward to their visits, some telling us that it is the highlight of their week.
