Supporting Royal Voluntary Service
Up to 4,000 volunteer hours pledged this year
“The arrival of the pandemic made us all rethink how we live and reinforced the importance of giving back to our communities. Royal Voluntary Service is one of the oldest national charities built on local volunteering that provides vital support to the people that need it most, both in hospitals and within the wider community, a perfect fit for us and our footprint.’’
Creating cohesive and healthy communities is ingrained in our DNA. Committed to investing in the local neighbourhoods surrounding our communities, we have partnered with Royal Voluntary Service and signed up to deliver up to 4,000 volunteer hours this year.
As part of the delivery programme, we will be appointing regional Community Champions to encourage maximum volunteer time through a series of fundraising activities and events. To kickstart the fundraising program, we will be hosting a Virtual Big Quiz across the organisation and a series of Vintage Tea Parties across our communities in July.
“We are looking forward to working with Lifestory as a partner to deliver valuable work in their local communities. It’s always refreshing to work in collaboration with an organisation that shares similar values to Royal Voluntary Service and see real commitment to delivering a positive legacy.’’
Sam Ward, Director of Services/Deputy CEO at Royal Voluntary Service
