Supporting People

Our One to One Support services are designed to build confidence and help reconnect you with the things that make life worth living, so you can stay independent for longer. The first step will usually be an assessment with one of our team where you can tell what you’d like the outcome to be and you’ll then be matched to a local volunteer to support you to achieve your goals.

Supporting People

Royal Voluntary Service volunteers provide Community Transport for trips where mobility issues can make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to use public transport or if you live in rural areas with limited transport. Trips usually include getting to or from hospital or to a GP appointment but can also include trips to the shops or into town or to social activities. Our Community Transport is comfortable and reliable, with a trusting relationship built between you and your volunteer driver.

Supporting People

More of us are living longer, which is good news, but for many more people who are living with complex conditions it is harder to keep active and maintain their level of health. Our Healthy, Happy Lives programme helps people of all abilities improve their physical and emotional health and play an active role in your community. Depending on your interests, activities can include; fun, chair-based resistance exercise sessions to improve strength and balance; a nutritious two-course lunch; company and discussion. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for those with mild to moderate dementia and group activities such as singing, arts and crafts or hobbies are all available Carers are also welcome and we are committed to supporting a safe, supportive space.
