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 supporting the extraordinary COVID-19 vaccination programme.
The work of our volunteers makes Britain healthier and happier.
Helping vulnerable people take the first step on the long road to recovery
