National Volunteers' Week 2026
Thank you, thank you, thank you to our amazing volunteers.
“Over 25 million people at some time have volunteered”. (According to volunteersweek.org)
For one week, from 1st – 7th June, we celebrate the importance of our volunteers against a national campaign. Over this week we will be showcasing some of the amazing work our volunteers do for Eye Matter and their importance to the charity’s management.
Eye Matter is so fortunate to have engaged a whole team of volunteers from our amazing Sighted Guides who support our many activities, to those in administration, facilitating Zoom sessions and many more roles they generously undertake to support our members.
