A young volunteer at WRVSWe need you all!

And there is something for everyone.

Every day WRVS helps thousands of older people to live the life they want. We provide practical services in homes, in hospitals and in communities all across England, Scotland and Wales so people can be independent and active.

WRVS is one of the largest voluntary organisations and much of our work is supporting older people. We provide practical solutions to the everyday problems of loneliness and isolation.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, men or women, young or older and we’ve got something for everyone.

Help us to do more to make Britain a great place to grow old

We want older people to live the life they want to live.
