As you may know, we have a wonderful community of Torch Ambassadors based around the UK. Ambassadors are volunteers who have committed to making the work of Torch known to people with sight loss, helping us make sure that we’re reaching and supporting as many people as we possibly can. We are very grateful to all those who give up their precious time to help us in this way, thank you Ambassadors!
Recently, two of our Ambassadors were able to represent Torch at the Sight Village event in Birmingham. Janice Tillett and Pat Lower, along with staff members Paul Rhodes and Sarah Brookman, were present staffing our stand and explaining all about the work Torch does to everyone who came and spoke to us.
Pat Lower, who worked as a Torch staff member for many years before retiring in 2018 and now continues to serve as an Ambassador, said: ‘I always enjoyed representing Torch at exhibitions and other events when I was a member of staff, especially talking to blind and partially sighted people and to fellow-professionals from the sight loss world about what Torch has to offer. As one of the new Torch Ambassadors it was good to be back doing that at Sight Village Birmingham recently and using my professional skills again. Pat Lower Obviously, I needed to catch up with details of what services and literature are available now but the staff at Torch were all really helpful and I wasn’t working on my own. Torch has been part of my life in one way or another since I was a teenager (and I’m now retired!) so it felt very positive to be part of the team again in this way.’
If you are interested in supporting Torch in this way, we’d love to hear from you! Simply contact Client Services to learn more about the role, or visit our website: torchtrust.org/vacancies
