Description

Vibrant event graphic with a blue center surrounded by bright abstract shapes in pink, orange, yellow, and green. White text inside two speech-bubble shapes reads "JOIN US!" above the main bold white text "LIVING WELL WITH SIGHT LOSS EVENT." At the bottom is the Devon in Sight logo featuring an eye symbol and the tagline "Your local sight loss charity."

Join Us as a Volunteer at Our Living Well with Sight Loss Event!

We’re bringing our Living Well with Sight Loss event to Barnstaple, and we need friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to help us create a warm, welcoming day for the North Devon community!

How You Can Help

  • Warm Welcomes & Conversation: Chat with visitors, offer a friendly ear, and help attendees navigate the venue.

  • Tea & Coffee Station: Keep the brews flowing throughout the day to keep everyone refreshed.

  • Cream Tea Distribution: Help us serve delicious, traditional Devon cream teas between 10:00am and 2:00pm.

  • General Event Support: Assist the Devon in Sight team and our fantastic local exhibitors (including Age UK Devon, Optelec, HumanWare, and SpaMedica) to keep the event running smoothly.

Event Details

  • Date & Time: Monday 21st September 2026, 9:00am – 3:00pm (Flexible shifts available)

  • Location: Roundswell Community Centre, Gratton Way, Barnstaple, EX31 3NL
