Home Library Services bring books and in some cases, DVDs, CDs and audio tapes on a regular basis to people who are unable to get to a library. Volunteers can select reading materials based on your individual taste and preference. Our volunteers are a friendly, familiar face and provide a useful check on your safety and well-being.

Hospital Support

When you need more support than usual after returning home following a hospital stay, our volunteers can help you to get back on your feet and feel confident to remain independent. Our volunteers can provide support for a period of up to 12 weeks which will vary according to individual needs. Such needs may include practical help like accompanied shopping, making new connections with the local community or IT guidance and can also provide one to one or group exercise to improve functional muscle strength and balance. Our volunteers carry out Safe and Well checks each time that they visit.

Hospital Support

Royal Voluntary Service volunteers provide Patient Transport for essential appointments and visits to and from hospital, to a GP or other medical appointment where confidence or mobility issues can make it difficult or impossible to attend by using public transport or if you live in rural areas with limited transport. Volunteers provide company and support to help you get to and from your appointment, they can also be on hand to help you check in and wait with you before returning home. Our volunteers can also take a carer if that helps with confidence to attend.

No two Community Companions services are the same but the intention is broadly similar in every case. Community Companions volunteers can transform your life by supporting and giving you the confidence to live the life you want and stay connected to your community - Whether it’s having a volunteer dropping in for a cuppa, going with you to the shops, or even just changing a light bulb, our service can make a real difference.
