Love online selling? Help your local sight loss charity from our Devizes office

We’re looking for a Volunteer Online Sales Assistant to help raise vital funds to support blind and partially sighted people across Wiltshire.

You’d be playing a behind-the-scenes role based at our Devizes office, supporting our charity shops by helping sort, list and send out donated items so they can raise as much as possible for our work. This role involves photographing and listing items on platforms such as eBay or Vinted, packing and posting sold items, and helping turn donations into much needed income for Wiltshire Sight.

You don’t need to do everything – if you’re happy helping with just one part, such as photographing items or packing orders, that would still make a real difference.

You might enjoy this role if you’re confident using online platforms, have a creative eye for photography, or would simply like a few hours in a friendly office environment. Full training and ongoing support are provided, and hours are flexible.

To find out more or apply, please contact us at volunteering@wiltshiresight.org or call 01380 723 682.

Make a difference with every sale.

Our Moving Forward Course returns this February

If your sight is changing and you are looking for practical, reassuring support, our Moving Forward Course may help. The course offers three friendly online Zoom sessions designed to help you explore practical skills, everyday technology and the support available.

You’ll hear from our Advice Team Manager and our rehabilitation and digital skills teams. Sessions will cover mobility, reading and writing support, built-in accessibility features, specialist technology, and ways to stay social and active.

The sessions take place on Monday 9, 16 and 23 February 2026, from 2pm to 3.15pm. You are welcome to join all three sessions or choose the topics most relevant to you.

The course is open to blind and partially sighted adults supported by any of our partnership charities – Wiltshire Sight, Sight Support West of England and Insight Gloucestershire.

Find out more on our website https://www.sightsupportwest.org.uk/events/?tags=20 and book your place by contacting us on 01380 723682.

“I have realised that I am not on my own. There are people who understand and want to help.”

That sense of not being alone has shaped so much of our work this year across Wiltshire and Swindon.

Looking ahead to the year to come, our local hubs will continue to offer information and advice, digital skills support and social groups.
We’re also looking ahead to Eye Can Swindon, taking place on Thursday 23 April 2026 at STEAM Museum in Swindon, bringing together services, technology and support under one roof. Eye Can Gloucester will also take place in October 2026.
And our Moving Forward Course returns in February, with three friendly online sessions for anyone adjusting to changes in their sight.

Alongside this, our other services continue throughout the year, including our Audio CD Library, monthly newsletters and twice yearly magazine. We’ll also be reviewing feedback from our latest survey to help shape our services and make sure we’re responding to what people tell us matters most.

Your local Wiltshire Sight team is here to support you in the new year. We reopen on Friday 2 January.

Looking ahead to January and beyond: local community hubs

As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to share a reminder of the community hubs taking place across Wiltshire and Swindon.

Details of January dates and locations are available on our Events page - https://www.sightsupportwest.org.uk/events/

Image description: A Sight Loss Advisor sits with a woman at a table, talking through different pieces of equipment.

We’ll be at Bath Christmas Market on Monday 8 December! You can find us on Orange Grove where our Fundraising Team will be running a large Christmas Tombola.

There are more than one hundred and fifty prizes up for grabs, including chocolates, hand cream gift sets, candles, soft toys, children’s books and lots of seasonal gifts.

Every ticket sold helps us continue our work with blind and partially sighted people in Bath and the surrounding areas.

If you’d like to know more about our local services, we’ll also have information you can take away.

We’d love to see you there.

Our Devizes shop has unveiled a beautiful new Christmas window, now on display at 36 The Market Place, Devizes, SN10 1JG.

This year’s scene has been lovingly handmade by our shop manager, who has brought back two familiar favourites. Harry Potter Mouse has turned his skills to interior decorating and Oliver Mouse has taken up baking, joining forces to create a warm and charming gingerbread-themed display.

If you are passing through Devizes over the winter, do take a moment to enjoy the window. And if you are looking for thoughtful pre loved gifts or decorations, our shop team will be happy to welcome you in. Every purchase helps us continue our work with blind and partially sighted people across Wiltshire.

If Devizes isn’t your nearest shop, you can also find us in Salisbury at 23 Catherine Street, SP1 2DQ, and in Trowbridge at 27B Fore Street, BA14 8EW.

Using a USB player for audiobooks and talking newspapers.

Keeping up with reading doesn’t have to stop when print becomes difficult. In this short video, our advisor Marc shows how a simple USB player can make it easy to listen to talking newspapers, audiobooks and other recordings sent to you on a USB stick.

We also offer our own letters and magazine in USB format if that suits you better, and we still run a CD audio library for those who prefer it. Many blind and partially sighted people use these options to stay connected with news, updates and the activities they enjoy.

If you’d like to find out more about equipment or formats that could make things easier day to day, contact Wiltshire Sight on 01380 723682 or info@wiltshiresight.org. We’re here to talk things through at your pace.
