Why and how to volunteer

Voluntary work is highly rewarding. Our 25,000 dedicated community volunteers deliver services and activities that help older people live the life they want to; independent and fulfilled. Whether it’s taking an older person to the shops, delivering books or even walking their dog – you can help.

When and where to volunteer

We appreciate any time you can give to volunteering so Royal Voluntary Service offer flexible voluntary work in a wide variety of roles and locations; a local volunteering opportunity could be just down the road from you. From a few hours a week to a couple of days each month, we can suit your availability.
