Low vision and blindness can turn a person’s life upside down. For many, it’s an experience that leaves them feeling frightened, isolated and like they are defined by their sight loss.

Reporting to the Fenland Manager, your role will also involve:

- Contributing to decision-making within the Fenland Team
- Supporting fundraising activity
- Monitoring and evaluating services with the Fenland Manager
- Developing and delivering an effective volunteer recruitment strategy
