WRVS is one of the largest voluntary organisations in Britain with around 45,000 men and women helping older people to stay independent at home, or stay active in their community. They help provide the essentials and support to patients and visitors in over 300 hospitals throughout the country and they have teams of volunteers on call night and day to support people caught up in an emergency or disaster. WRVS's vision is a world where every older person has the opportunity and choice to get more out of life.

Services provided by their volunteers take place:

• In homes
  • Meals on Wheels
  • Books on Wheels
  • Good Neighbours
• In the community
  • Community transport
  • Day centres
• In hospitals
• In emergency response

Their volunteers are people who care about the community they live in, and want to make it a better place. Their willingness to give up their time to offer help and friendship is what makes their services special; their knowledge and experience help them to respond to local needs.
