Vista's Oakham charity shop, 15 High Street will be officially declared open by

The Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland on Wednesday (May 19).

The shop has been transformed into a volunteer-led bookshop and Vista are

looking for more volunteers to join its dedicated team.

There are many roles available at the Oakham charity bookshop and the charity can work around other commitments to find hours that suit you.

Therefore, if you want some experience on your cv or have some time to spare, get in touch.

Vista will provide full training, a wonderful working atmosphere and the chance to be part of a charity that make you feel like part of the team.

The Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland, Dr Sarah Furness said: "Vista do remarkable work enabling people of all ages with sight loss to be as independent and fulfilled as possible.

"I am delighted to be opening the Rutland Vista shop. My hope is that all the clearing and sorting we all did during the lockdowns can be put to use to make beneficial impact on people's lives.

"I am sure that one person's clutter is another's treasure and I urge everyone to

come and do some bargain hunting – and support a great cause whilst they

do so."

By volunteering in the Oakham charity bookshop, Vista says you will not only be

making a difference to the lives of people with sight loss as well as supporting

the community, but you will learn skills, make friends and most importantly you

will have fun.

Those who are interested are asked to ring the charity's Volunteer Development Manager, Ray; on 07967 799364 or email at www.vistablind.org.uk and [email protected].
