About Opportunity
Make a difference in your local community by joining our successful team of dedicated fundraising volunteers. Be part of our team of volunteers collecting regularly at local supermarkets and shopping centres throughout the year.
Did you know that £100,000 was raised from loose change last year from street and store collections? This year we are on target to reach £150,000 - imagine how much more we could raise with your help. Every £410 we raise can pay for someone newly diagnosed as blind or partially sighted to attend a confidence-boosting 'Finding your Feet' weekend.
What will I be doing?
