Royal Voluntary Service

Volunteering is changing, and with the Royal Voluntary Service, you can choose the role and style of volunteering that fits in with your life and lifestyle.

Our volunteers work in a wide variety of roles, from offering companionship to people who are socially isolated to providing practical help to those recovering from illness to working on hospital wards or helping at vaccination sites.

Whatever role you choose to play, you will be supporting others while enjoying a rewarding experience for yourself. 

Our volunteers work with healthcare teams and in communities, providing practical help and emotional support when people are struggling to cope.

We deliver the NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme for NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care, where our volunteers help to ease pressure on the health and social care systems by providing support to people receiving care from local services or to those who have recently been discharged from hospital. Our volunteers also provide support at vaccination sites.
