Volunteer

Our work would not be possible without the support of our volunteers. They all play a role in creating the warm community atmosphere that exists within our buildings and also support tenants on an individual basis

Volunteers give their time in a range of different ways, including:

• Facilitating events and activities such as weekly art classes, book clubs, discussion groups and exercise classes
• Befrienders who connect with tenants either in person or on the phone
• Supporting with administration at JBD’s central office
• Driving tenants on ad hoc outings in the JBD minibus
• Establishing or joining a fundraising committee
• Becoming a Trustee.

As a volunteer, you will:

• Become a valued part of the JBD community and make a meaningful difference to tenants’ lives
• Build connections and friendships
• Receive guidance from our professional team through a full induction, regular training, and ongoing support
• Gain opportunities to learn new skills and grow personally and professionally
• Be invited to special events that celebrate and thank our volunteers.

"Volunteering reminds me how much we can learn just by taking the time to listen."

Simon Davis, Jewish Blind & Disabled Volunteer

"I run a monthly discussion group followed by a current affairs quiz at both Cherry Tree Court and Aztec House. It is always good to hear different views and we all benefit from the intellectual challenge posed each time."

Martin Morgan, Jewish Blind & Disabled Volunteer

“I started volunteering at Fairacres in 2014; organising an afternoon tea club every Tuesday and a lunch every few months. Its safe to say volunteering with Jewish Blind & Disabled has enriched my life.”

Barbara Wallis, Jewish Blind & Disabled Volunteer

“For many years now, I have had the pleasure of meeting lots of lovely tenants who are willing to join me for our weekly chair-based exercise classes.”

Julie Power, Jewish Blind & Disabled Volunteer
