Vista's Oakham charity bookshop has been officially declared open by The Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland today.
The shop at 15 High Street has been transformed into a volunteer-led bookshop and Vista are looking for more volunteers to join our dedicated team.
There are many roles available at the Oakham charity bookshop and Vista can work around other commitments to find hours that suit you, so if you want some experience on your cv or have some time to spare, get in touch.
Vista promises 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 with Vista in the Oakham charity bookshop, 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.
Vista provides support and services to almost 12,000 children and adults with sight loss throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
As well as rehabilitation, social groups, befriending and residential services, Vista also provide specialist services for people with learning disabilities, dementia and dual sensory impairment.
