Company
Royal Voluntary Service mobilises volunteers in every corner of Britain to support people in need and the NHS.
Our volunteers work with healthcare teams and in communities providing practical help and emotional support when people are struggling to cope.
We also assist on the NHS frontline, and right now our volunteers are once again rising to the challenge to support the NHS to deliver the booster jabs to the people of Britain as soon as possible.
Our volunteers provide a lifeline to those who need us in communities and the NHS.
How do you know if volunteering is the right thing for you? Our answer is simple: volunteering is for everyone. In fact, most of us already do it without thinking about it.
Every time you take part in a PTA or community group, you’re volunteering. Even things like shovelling snow off a shared pavement, or cutting the grass in a communal area, counts as volunteering.
The difference in volunteering through Royal Voluntary Service is that we help you find activities that really work for you. You'll be joining one of the country's largest and most established volunteering organisations. We match the time you have available, the skills you’d like to use and what you want to achieve with opportunities local to you. All our roles focus on assisting the NHS and supporting people's health and wellbeing, particularly those facing health challenges.
