Eye Heroes is the UK’s first child-led campaign to fight avoidable blindness. Children are trained through volunteer-led interactive workshops in schools and after-school clubs to become eye health champions, and to inform people in their communities about eye health and the benefits of regular eye tests.

This is an exciting time to join Eye Heroes because we are starting a new project in Greater London where we will run 200 workshops over the next two years.

Volunteers will deliver workshops to children aged 8–12, either face-to-face or online, on eye health using the materials and guidance that have been developed by Eye Heroes. Volunteers do not need to be experts: no special skills or knowledge of science, eye health or eye care are required.

Volunteers need to be able to engage children’s interest and respond to their questions and curiosity. For in-person workshops, a member of the school staff will always be present during the workshop. Volunteers can deliver workshops at times that suit them, either face-to-face for a school/group in a location local to the volunteer or online.

If you would like to apply, please send a CV/resume and a couple of paragraphs explaining why you would like to volunteer for Eye Heroes and why you would be suitable for the role.
