Cafés & shops
Royal Voluntary Service has been running cafés, shops & trolley services for over 85 years - and we're now bringing that experience beyond the NHS to high streets, transport hubs and commercial destinations nationwide.
Every purchase can help make a difference
All profits from our cafés and shops are reinvested back into our charitable mission to help run volunteer powered services to support people and communities across Britain. This means every coffee, sandwich and cake sold helps make a positive impact, without compromising on quality or customer experience.

Partner with a café operator that puts purpose behind the counter
Royal Voluntary Service is one of the UK's most experienced café and retail operators across NHS hospitals and community hubs and now in transport hubs and high streets.
If you're a landlord, developer, property manager, NHS trust or commercial site owner with a retail or catering space to fill, we bring the operational rigour of a national café chain with a model where every profit is reinvested into charitable services supporting communities across Britain.
