Volunteer Opportunities

 

We do not currently have any volunteering opportunities available, but please sign up to our e-newsletter and follow our social media accounts for updates.

 


How can YOU support VAO?

Fundraising events

Fundraising is a great way for volunteers to support VAO. Many will organise their own fundraising events, from sponsored walks and fun runs to virtual quiz nights and even sky-dives! To find out more about fundraising please click here.

Become a store or practice champion

Volunteers who work in practices or stores can become VAO champions. As a champion you bring VAO's mission to your place of work.

You could for example: have awareness raising days in store, hold bake sales and organise regular donation collections when making free glasses repairs for customers.
