The Royal Voluntary Service

The Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) is a British charity that volunteers to support communities, especially the elderly and those in need. Founded in 1938, it provides practical assistance such as delivering meals, running social clubs, and offering transportation. The organization aims to reduce loneliness, improve health, and promote independence among vulnerable groups. RVS’s volunteers work across hospitals, care homes, and communities, complementing professional services. Recognized for its contributions, it operates under the patronage of the Queen and collaborates with local authorities to enhance community well-being.
