Companionship Support - Mangōnui

We are looking for a volunteer to provide companionship to one of our members. You’ll visit, have a chat, share a laugh and help brighten someone’s day. No special skills are needed - just a friendly smile and a caring heart! About Blind Low Vision NZ: Every day, an average of nine New Zealanders turn to Blind Low Vision NZ for support with vision loss. We provide emotional and practical support, so that people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision can keep working and living independently. We meet people in their homes or at their local Blind Low Vision NZ office to collectively make this happen. We also advocate for accessible and inclusive communities. We believe people with vision loss deserve equal access to public spaces, information and careers. This is made possible through education and removing barriers. At Blind Low Vision NZ we believe no goal is too big or small. https://blindlowvision.org.nz/
