Volunteering for Child’s Vision has been amazing, I have learnt so much, in the office, I help out with emails, taking calls, help out with fundraising events and loads of other bits.

I love the 1:1 school support sessions, you can see when the children come into the first session they are all shy, hiding behind their hair or not wanting to talk much, to the last session where they come in all happy, laughing and completely enjoying life. It’s just such a privilege to volunteer with Child’s Vision, to know that I am helping these children become happy with life and understand their emotions.

My life as a volunteer for Child’s Vision.

Hi, my name is Sharon and I have been a volunteer for Child’s Vision for 5 years. My current role is office manager, although I also support children 1:1 and facilitate programmes.

I love being a part of the team and enjoy the opportunities volunteering has to offer. I find volunteering highly rewarding, with the benefit of meeting new people, learning new skills, and helping make a difference to someone’s life. I have learnt so much about the subject of domestic abuse, and I have pushed and expanded my personal abilities and knowledge. An hour a week, doesn’t seem a lot but it can make a big difference.
