As a Friends of Moorfields volunteer, you'll be at the front-line of providing emotional and physical support to patients with visual impairment and to ensure Moorfields provide an excellent service.

It'll give you a great sense of purpose and will give you experience and skills that can be transferred into any career path.

You'll learn a lot including interpersonal skills, and will gain experience of a hospital-setting.
