The Organisation
WRVS delivers practical support through the power of volunteering, so older people get more out of life. Our vision is a world where every older person has the opportunity and choice to get more out of life.
All the services we provide - from Meals on Wheels to Good Neighbours projects, from emergency support to help in hospitals - are aimed at keeping people in touch with others, and building stronger local communities. We work with other charities and organisations, local authorities and the NHS, meeting needs in communities throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Skills / Qualifications
No formal qualifications but a desire to work together with other volunteers to improve the lives of older people. This is a demanding opportunity and requires you to have several hours of time each week. However, the opportunity may also be carried out by 2-3 people working together.
