Other charities working with WRVS

WRVS works in partnership and coalition with other charities. Together we share skills and expertise and maximise the impact we can achieve.

Most recently our work has focused on being part of the Dementia Action Alliance and as one of the founding partners of the Campaign to End Loneliness. Our partnership with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme is an important way we promote volunteering opportunities for younger people.
