Getting the Word Out There
Volunteer Across Scotland
With 4350 people living with sight loss in East Dunbartonshire, and 188,000 Scots, who are registered visually impaired it is vitally important that we recruit volunteers to use social media, the press, and gatherings to raise awareness of the daily service being provided by our studio volunteers.
If you drive, or have access to a car, and could take our display boards and promotional material to an exhibition please get in touch

Always wanted to be a journalist? Always wanted to be published online or in print? We badly need people who can help get articles into local newspapers. We also need people to come up with ideas for both our blog and website.

About Opportunity
Cue and Review - "Print Speaking to the Blind" is looking for people to demonstrate how visually impaired people can access daily talking newspapers on their tablet, laptop or even on their phone. The role involves you contacting venues such as libraries health centres, hospitals and daycare centres asking them to allow you to bring our display stand along and to talk to their clients. We are not just looking to speak to visually impaired people but also their sighted family and friends. We would look to recruit teams of two that would be able to act as ambassadors for the charity and be able to drive to each venue with the display materials. Team members need to have access to a laptop, tablet or mobile phone to enable the online audio player to be demonstrated. Access to Audio Ambassadors logo
