Our amazing volunteers are at the heart of VisionPK, helping us deliver life changing services to people in Perth and Kinross living with sight and/or hearing loss.
Their time, skills and dedication support everything we do, from helping at social groups, health and well-being activities, events to fundraising and administration.
We’re always looking for new volunteers to join our team.
We welcome applications from people of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels, from those taking their first steps into volunteering to those with a lifetime of skills and wisdom to share, and everyone in between.
We’ll provide the training you need to feel confident in your chosen role and support people with sight and hearing loss effectively.
Volunteering can strengthen your CV, but its benefits go far beyond work experience. It’s a rewarding way to develop new skills, meet people and make a meaningful difference in your community.
We offer a variety of volunteering opportunities, some of which are listed below. If you think one of these roles could be right for you, we’d love to hear from you.
If you have other skills, experience or talents that could benefit the people we support, please let us know. You may have something valuable to offer that we haven’t even considered yet!

Their fresh ideas, perspectives and approaches help shape how we develop and deliver our activities and projects.
Volunteers are also important ambassadors for VisionPK. By raising awareness of our work and the support available, they help us reach more people across the community.
