Where does the money go?Surrey Association for Visual Impairment, based in Fetcham, aims to work with blind and partially sighted people in Surrey, to provide services so that they may choose to lead fuller, more independent lives. Fundraising is a vital part of SAVI's work to be able to support visually impaired people in the Surrey community, as many of their services are free. There is a cost in recruiting and maintaining volunteers and paid staff to provide the valuable services. They also we need to provide a building for SAVI's work base and the valuable Resource Centre and Low Vision Centre.
Who can take part?
We are looking for teams of 2-6 young people aged between 16 and 25 to accept the Challenge.
The Challenge provides you with an excellent management development opportunity which will not only enhace your CV but also help you develop skills such as personal learning, planning and networking.
