THIS Volunteers’ Week (June 1-12), I wanted to formally say thank you to all our volunteers for the amazing work they do supporting older people in Wales.
Without our 4,500 volunteers in Wales, Royal Voluntary Service couldn’t operate.
The work that they do, whether it’s in the community or in our Hospital Shops and Cafes, is essential to making sure the lives of older people are enriched and that they are better connected to others and their communities.
Volunteers’ Week is a great opportunity to highlight the role our army of volunteers across Wales play, who without making a fuss or asking for any special recognition, give their time so generously to others.
I’m taken aback every day by the support the charity receives and would like to thank all of our volunteers for their incredible work.

Director for Wales and West England Royal Voluntary Service
