About Royal Voluntary Service

Royal Voluntary Service mobilises volunteers in every corner of Britain to support people in need and the NHS.

Our volunteers work with healthcare teams and in communities providing practical help and emotional support when people are struggling to cope.

We also assist on the NHS frontline, and right now our volunteers are once again rising to the challenge to support the NHS to deliver the booster jabs to the people of Britain as soon as possible.

Our volunteers provide a lifeline to those who need us in communities and the NHS.
