This morning I found an email from one of my volunteers. They wrote I’m anxious about taking blind people out but if you have no one then I’ll take them.

Funny thing is if you can take vision impaired people out you can take blind people out.

It’s quite easy. Our clients are very independent. They can get around on their own with an aid like a cane or a guide dog . They just need an arm to guide them so they get where they want to go quicker.

Plus they are not deaf. They can hear instructions like there’s a step up or the rail is to your left.

That’s it. Yet as soon as I put blind on the form I don’t get any volunteer. It’s frustrating.
