IF one of your New Year's resolutions was to devote some of your free time to a charity then the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) would like you to get in touch.

RNIB is looking for volunteers in and around Plymouth to help raise funds at supermarkets and shopping centres as well as placing RNIB's iconic Sooty Boxes in shops, pubs and leisure centres.

All funds raised will help the charity to provide vital services to local blind and partially sighted people.

Sara-Jane Woods, head of community partnerships at RNIB, said: 'Volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity and we are always looking for more people to join us.

'If you are friendly and outgoing with an enthusiastic attitude and are willing to learn, we can offer you full and comprehensive training. If you're looking for a new job, all the new skills that you'll acquire with us can be put onto your CV to help with your future career.

If you are over 18 and wish to find out more, email [email protected]">[email protected] or call 0845 345 0054.
