A new approach
Royal Voluntary Service is developing an innovative digital volunteering platform made possible with funding from players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.
The platform will help charities to recruit and retain the support they need through linking them to task-ready volunteers.
It will inspire the next generation of volunteers by connecting them seamlessly with the causes and charities they care about.
It's time to rethink volunteering, making it more accessible and inclusive for all.

Built by volunteering experts
Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteering organisations in Britain.
For over 80 years we’ve demonstrated the power of civic participation, inspiring millions of citizens to deliver vital support and relief in communities and the NHS.
We’re the recognised leaders in using digital to convene volunteers at scale. During the pandemic, we set up the NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme, the largest digital volunteering initiative of its kind. 600,000 volunteers were mobilised through an app, many of them new to volunteering.
