We are extremely excited to announce our most recent charity partnership with the Royal Voluntary Service – this is a UK-based charity dedicated to providing support to elderly and vulnerable adults within our community. Their main focus is to enable vulnerable adults to meet the needs of the day through offering a variety of different services. All of the services and support provided by the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) are through volunteers – therefore, RVS rely solely on donations from ourselves and support from volunteers in order to fulfil their pledges.

Here is what Kayleigh Williams, Interim Director of Fundraising at RVS, had to say about our partnership with the charity:

“We’re delighted to welcome the support of Clece Care Services (parent company). Their fundraising support over the next year will make a real difference to Royal Voluntary Service and we can’t wait to get started!”

What services/support do the Royal Voluntary Service offer?

The RVS offer a range of support to vulnerable adults, including:

• 1 on 1 support.
• Calls with Care – regular scheduled calls with volunteers to provide support and companionship.
• Home Library service – bringing books/audiobooks to those who can’t reach libraries to engage with reading again.
• Community and patient transport.
• Companionship and assistance with their Community Champions.
• Dementia support, including; Living Well with dementia, Remember Me cafe’s, Memory Lane (cognitive stimulation therapy), and more.
• Their Virtual Village Hall, dedicated to improving social lives of vulnerable adults who can not leave their homes through virtual live sessions.
• Lunch clubs, which are social spaces where people can enjoy a warm, home-cooked meal.
• Social clubs & events, covering a whole host of hobbies and interests.
• Their Healthy, Happy Lives programme – designed to enjoy activities in local community centres.
• Community cafe’s, similar to lunch clubs.
• Support in hospitals, including; on-ward support, patient transport, hospital shops and cafe’s, hospital trolleys, their Meet & Greet service, and Home from Hospital assistance, to help vulnerable adults adjust back to life at home after leaving hospital.
