We provide all our volunteers with induction training, including; guiding techniques, safeguarding procedures, and essential organisational information.

For those who have been volunteering for a while, we’ll ask you to book a refresher of Sighted Guide and Safeguarding training.

Sighted Guide Training helps volunteers to confidently support people living with sight loss, whilst they participate in activities and navigate different environments.

Key Focus Areas:

• Awareness of sight loss, common eye conditions, and their impacts.
• Best practices for guiding someone with sight loss.
• Techniques to support mobility and safety.

Upcoming Session:

• Additional sessions will be announced soon.

Safeguarding Training ensures volunteers are equipped to protect vulnerable individuals from harm and know how to report concerns.

Upcoming Sessions:

• Wednesday 29th January, 11am-12pm
• Monday 24th February, 2pm-3pm
• Friday 28th March, 2pm-3pm

Booking Information:

• Eventbrite Volunteer Training Page 
• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: 01223 420033

Please ensure you attend a session if you haven't refreshed your Sighted Guide or Safeguarding training in the past three years.

If you would prefer to complete the Safeguarding training online rather than a face-to-face session, please let the volunteering team know.

We hope to be able to provide sessions throughout Fenland and Peterborough in the coming months.
