As part of our celebrations for The Big Shout Out and National Volunteer Week 2025, we’re shining a light on another of the incredible people who give their time to Blind Low Vision NZ.

Christine is a vital part of Blind Low Vision NZ’s Accessible Formats team, working as a copyholder alongside Leyna, one of our Braille proofreaders.

Christine’s inspiration to work in this role partly sprang from childhood, reading to her father who had macular degeneration (you can learn more about macular degeneration here).

This National Volunteer Week, we’re proud to share her story as a reminder of the care, skill, and heart our volunteers bring to their roles every day.

Watch Christine’s full interview on YouTube and discover the impact she’s making behind the scenes.
