Celebrate Coronation Day and make a positive impact on the lives of blind and partially sighted children, young people, and their families. 

Join the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC) as a Community Volunteer and leave a volunteering legacy. Community Volunteers play a crucial role in raising funds to support our organisation’s work towards a life without limits.

This volunteer opportunity is flexible as you can support our cause either online or in person in your local community.
