Every gift helps our volunteers be there when people need it most.
The difference your donations make
Since 1938, Royal Voluntary Service has stepped up whenever Britain has needed us. From supporting families through the Blitz to helping people through today’s challenges, such as loneliness, pressure on the NHS and growing numbers of people living alone, our volunteers have always been there to meet the needs of the day. Your donations help us keep that promise.
Every gift helps our volunteers reach someone who might otherwise struggle to cope. It might be a lift to a vital hospital appointment, a friendly phone call to someone who hasn’t spoken to anyone all week, or support settling back in at home after a hospital stay. Whether in hospitals, in people’s homes or out in the community, your support helps people stay safe, well and connected to the things that matter to them.
