Fight for Sight has recently launched a Depop account where visitors to the app will be able to find a fantastic selection of our donated women’s and mens fashion and accessories. We are currently looking for volunteers with an interest in sustainable fashion to help grow our online shop and raise vital funds for people living with vision loss.
Minimum time commitment: 3 hours per week
Email our Volunteer Manager, Beth to find out more.

- Package and dispatch items for delivery, ensuring packages are well-presented.
