Fundraising volunteers

Join RNIB's fantastic team of community fundraising volunteers.

Whether you can spare just a few hours or would like to volunteer on a regular basis, by giving your time you can help RNIB reach more blind and partially sighted people that need our support. Here are just a few ways you can help:

Become a Sooty Box volunteer

RNIB urgently needs volunteers to collect and bank donations received through our Sooty Boxes. Join our community of incredible volunteer Sooty Box collectors and you'll play a vital role in generating much-needed funds and raising our profile in local communities. Last year, volunteers collected over £330,000 from sites across the UK.

The role is completely flexible, can be performed by individuals, pairs or groups and the time you dedicate is entirely up to you and your commitments. You can give your time as little or as often as you like.
