Do you love football and enjoy connecting with people? We are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to facilitate a regular telephone or video-based group.
About the Role
Do you love football and enjoy connecting with people? Deafblind UK is looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to facilitate a regular telephone or video-based football group for our members. This friendly and informal group will bring together football fans to chat about their favourite teams, recent matches, football history, major tournaments and everything in between. As the facilitator, you'll help keep conversations flowing, encourage participation and create a welcoming environment where everyone feels included.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone with a genuine passion for football, good communication skills, and an interest in helping people build social connections. You don't need previous facilitation experience—we'll provide training and support—but you'll need to be reliable, friendly and confident engaging with a small group.
What You'll Gain
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to people living with sight and hearing loss while sharing your enthusiasm for the beautiful game. You'll receive support from the Deafblind UK team, gain valuable experience and help reduce loneliness by connecting people through a shared interest. Join us and help create a space where football fans can come together, share their passion for the game and enjoy great conversations.

About Deafblind UK
Deafblind UK is the UK’s only charity specialising in supporting people with any level of deafblindness. We support people to live with their condition and to build their confidence and independence. We offer understanding and advice as well as practical support, residential support, care and social opportunities. We also lead research to help the world live better with deafblindness.
Deafblindness affects everyone in different ways. Some people might have mild sight and hearing loss whereas others can’t see or hear anything. It can be isolating and lonely and can lead to mental health issues - but it’s far more common than many people realise. Around 450,000 people are affected by sight and hearing loss in the UK.
