Volunteer as a Sighted Guide on 19 Sept. Help blind and partially sighted attendees travel from the station and navigate the venue. Training will be provided.
We are looking for volunteers to act as Sighted Guides at our Annual Conference on 19th September. Sighted Guiding is a simple and effective way of supporting blind and partially sighted attendees to move safely and confidently throughout the day.
As a Sighted Guide, you may be asked to:
Meet and welcome attendees on arrival.
Guide attendees between the train station and the conference venue.
Guide individuals between conference rooms, refreshment areas, lunch areas, and other facilities.
Assist attendees with fetching food and drinks during breaks and lunch.
Provide information about the venue layout and surroundings.
Support attendees to ensure they have a positive, inclusive, and accessible conference experience.
No previous experience is required, and guidance will be provided before the event. By volunteering, you will play an important role in helping all delegates participate fully and enjoy the conference. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a real difference.
