Our President
The Duchess of Cornwall became the President of WRVS in December 2012.
The Duchess of Cornwall, together with the Prince of Wales, was Patron of our search for the UK’s Diamond Champions - older people who give their time to improve the lives of those around them – which demonstrates her commitment to recognising the vital role volunteers play in society.
The Presidency has come at a pivotal time in WRVS’ history as we celebrate our 75th anniversary in May 2013 and will be showcasing the vital role our charity has played in the lives of many from its launch as the Women’s Voluntary Services in 1938 to the role it plays today by supporting older people in the community throughout the UK.
