Logo for Volunteering Hawke's Bay

This role is to support a group of vision impaired indoor bowlers weekly on Tuesday mornings 9.50am - 11.30am. The season starts 13th Feb and goes through to end of October.

Some previous indoor bowls experience would be great, though not essential. The group are happy to help teach any new volunteers.

You would be assisting with sighted guiding of vision impaired bowlers, and describing where/ how to bowl.

In addition, the group travels away to the National Blind Bowls tournament on Labour weekend in Hamilton. Ideally you would be available to travel away that weekend - where you would be guiding the vision impaired bowlers throughout the tournament. All costs including accommodation, meals and travel are paid for.

All relevant training is provided. The type of person we are looking for is reliable and has a passion to enable people with a vision impairment to live the life they chose and engage in recreational activities.
