Devon in Sight’s Volunteer Visiting Service works throughout Mid Devon, matching people with sight loss with a volunteer to help them live as independently as possible in their own homes.
Certificates were presented to those volunteers who had been with the Charity for five years by Grahame Flynn (Chief Executive Officer ). The Charity really appreciates that these volunteers give the most precious gift they can to us which is their time. “This is a very special gift and one which is very much appreciated and valued.”
Laura Hewitt from DCF came to present a cheque for £8615.15 to Devon in Sight’s Mid-Devon Volunteer Visiting Service from Comic Relief via Devon Community Foundation.
Laura Hewitt said: “We are delighted to be able to support this fantastic group. It is groups like this working on the frontline that are so essential to our communities. It’s what makes DCF so important to ensure that together with donors and local groups we can build strong and vibrant communities for everyone in Devon, both now and for the future.”
