West Suffolk Voluntary Association for the Blind |

We are a group of volunteers giving light at the end of the day to visually impaired living in and around Sudbury by organising a social life for them that includes coach outings, plus monthly coffee/social mornings and tenpin bowling.
We would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to join us. It is not vital to be registered partially sighted or blind, just an eye problem is enough to become a member. No joining fee, just part cost of the event attended to pay for, all outings subsidised by club funds. We do short winter outings - lunches and home in daylight - to longer outings in the summer to the seaside, boat rides, gardens or towns. We do not expect a visually impaired person to attend on their own but encourage them to bring a sighted friend or relative with them. We do have some volunteers ready to help if necessary.
Talking of volunteers, we are always looking for more, so if you feel you could give a few hours of your time, then maybe you are just what we are looking for. Our main help would be car drivers, ready to fetch and carry to and from our outings, with all petrol expenses paid. Also if you feel you could help with the organisation, then maybe your skills are just what we need too.
If you are interested in knowing more please contact me at our Head Office in Bury St Edmunds on 01284 706655 during working hours.
