Help is needed with our in-house magazine.  We need an extra co-editor and some reporters.

All of the above activities are organised by volunteers, supported by WAB staff. Without our wonderful army of volunteers we could not offer these services, which are so valued and appreciated by the people who receive them. You could make a difference to a visually impaired person’s life by giving an hour or two of your time.
