our year

a word from our chief executive, Lynne Berry

I am honoured to have joined an organisation with the proud history of WRVS. It’s an organisation that uses the power of volunteers, that emphasises people’s strengths and builds on people’s willingness to make a difference to individuals in their communities. WRVS is at the heart of the current concern to create sustainable communities, to promote the independence and dignity of older people. Through the links that WRVS has forged we can all play our part in social cohesion, in connecting individuals, communities and wider society. I look forward to working with WRVS’ volunteers, trustees, service users, employees and other partners so that we can continue to provide excellent services and make life more fulfilling for older people and communities.

Lynne Berry,
Chief Executive
