Building effective partnerships is vital to our work - enabling us to make an impact on the lives of more older people throughout the country. We work with local authorities, health boards, trusts and other commissioning bodies in a wide range of partnerships that are complimentary and strengthen the work we do.
Our area of expertise is in simple and preventative support – providing that little bit of practical help that makes a proven impact on the lives of the older person.
We already work with over 200 local authorities and our point of difference is our user-centred approach. What matters is that every older person can get the help they need locally to live the life they want.
Our new health strategy places our 450 cafés and shops hospitals at the centre of WRVS volunteer based health services. The money we gift back to UK hospitals will contribute to developing these services.
By supporting our work you will be helping make Britain a great place to grow old. WRVS has a proven and significant impact on the lives of older people in this country and demand is growing.
At both local community and national level, we work with a range of trusts and grant giving bodies to enable us to support more older people.
WRVS works in partnership with other charities on issues such as the Dementia Alliance, the Campaign to end Loneliness, Big Lunch and others.
