From 1-7 June people across the country will be coming together to celebrate the vital contribution volunteers make supporting people in need, as part of Volunteers’ Week.
On behalf of Royal Voluntary Service I would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers in the South East of England for their unwavering dedication and hard work.
For 365 days a year over 35,000 Royal Voluntary Service volunteers provide meals, transport services and companionship to over 100,000 older people across Britain; it is their dedication and compassion which allows older people live fulfilled lives whilst staying independent in their homes for longer.
I would like to encourage more people in the South East of England to follow their example and sign up to volunteer for Royal Voluntary Service and help us support more older people in need.
Making a difference to someone’s life can be as simple as stopping by to share a cup of tea and a chat, or driving people to a lunch club.
Whether you can spare an hour a week or can give a couple of days each month, we will have an opportunity to suit your availability and skills; visit www.royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk/volunteer or call 0845 600 5885.
Will you be volunteering next Volunteers’ Week?

Royal Voluntary Service Chief Executive
