We support people who have combined sight and hearing loss -we help them to live with their condition and to build their confidence and independence. As a Charity Champion, you will champion and advocate our work in your local community.

What will you be doing?

As a Regional Charity Champion, you will be the vital link between Deafblind UK and your local community raising awareness of dual sensory loss through engagement with local groups and organisations. You will work closely with our Networking Programme Officer who will be available to support you in your role.

The commitment and skills of our volunteer family enable us to reach out to those in our far-flung communities whose lives could potentially be transformed by our support. Your knowledge of your own local area will help us to impact and support those adapting to, and living with, a dual sensory loss.

This is a flexible role which can differ for each volunteer depending on your strengths and experience. It might involve attending public events and groups in your local area delivering short talks or simply circulating information about the charity to raise awareness, make new connections and attract new members.

A confident communicator with experience in public speaking
Local knowledge to identify public engagement opportunities
Have a genuine interest in improving the lives of those with dual sensory loss
Are dependable and responsible

What difference will you make?

Your support and expertise will help us reach out to communities and individuals who most need our support. Your networking and public speaking skills will help amplify the work already being done by our wider team of Charity Champions across the UK.
