Social Group Volunteer - Plaistow - HVC 1970

DeafBlind UK

Do you love a good chat, enjoy meeting new people, and want to make a real difference in someone’s life? Come and be part of something special!

We’re looking for friendly, outgoing volunteers to help at our monthly social group meetings. These gatherings are a lifeline for many of our members living with combined sight and hearing loss — offering connection, laughter, and a safe space to make new friends.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Group Volunteer, you’ll be the welcoming face that makes our members feel at home. Your role might include:

  • Greeting members with a warm smile
  • Helping with lunch and refreshments
  • Spending time chatting and socialising
  • Supporting members with mobility or guiding, if needed

Our Newham group meets every fourth Thursday of the month from 1pm to 3pm — just two hours to brighten someone’s day!

Got a Talent? Share It!

Whether you’re a quiz master, a crafty creator, a musical marvel, or have a few magic tricks up your sleeve — we’d love to see what you can bring! Your unique skills could add that extra sparkle to our sessions.

What skills do I need?

All you need is a friendly, welcoming manner and a willingness to help.

We’ll take care of the rest.
