Volunteers are always needed across the county to help Somerset Sight in its vital work with visually impaired people.
Almost anyone can be a volunteer!
Our resource shop in Taunton has so much to offer. From magnifiers to monopoly, clocks to cooking equipment, there is something for everyone here.
Feel free to come in and have a look around, however, if you require a magnifier, please make an appointment beforehand.
Our Mobile Advisory Service is out on the road in excess of 200 days per year. Last year we drove 13000 miles, visited over 40 locations and had over 1200 people on board. It parks up in various locations from supermarket car parks to village greens.

Somerset Sight Centenary Commemorative Brick Appeal
Somerset Sight is fast approaching it's Centenary Year. We, along with many other Associations for the Blind, were originally founded to support the wounded returning from the trenches.
A centenary year is a great moment to reflect on what has been achieved and to consider the future.
Discovering you are losing your sight can be a devastating blow. It can be a disorientating, scary and lonely time. The team at Somerset Sight is here to provide support at the point of diagnosis and beyond. Across Somerset there are estimated to be 19,000 people living with visual impairment. At least one in five of those people never leave their home alone.
We are an independent, self-funding local charity reaching out to sight impaired people in both the towns and villages of Somerset with a range of services and activities.
