Staff and volunteers of the Royal Voluntary Service (formerly the Women’s Voluntary Service and Women’s Royal Voluntary Service) are not eligible for SSAFA support as whilst some will have been in supporting roles to Service Personnel they are not eligible based on this role alone.
The WRVS Benevolent Trust is for the benefit of people who are, or who have been WVS, WRVS or Royal Voluntary Service volunteers or staff by giving one-off grants to help with everyday life. The Trust helps past or present volunteers or staff, who find themselves in need of financial assistance due to an urgent need or crisis.
Our goal is to inspire and enable people to give the gift of voluntary service to meet the needs of the day in their communities. We believe that our volunteers’ service makes them, and Britain, healthier and happier.
We also work closely with the NHS, providing valuable support services that allow hardworking hospital staff time to focus on looking after the people in their care.
Working one-to-one, in groups and online, our network of trained volunteers provide the time and skills that help people feel stronger, healthier and more able to cope with any challenges they may be facing.
Through social activities and groups, they create connections and friendships that help communities thrive and boost the wellbeing of the people involved.
Our services vary from area to area and in some cases are available via your local authority or health services.
