Simplyhealth & Royal Voluntary Service Christmas Campaign

Christmas is a hectic time with travelling, cooking, shopping and keeping an eye on the kids. For a lot of members of our community, that hectic life is a constant, every day of the year.

Royal Voluntary Service are one of the largest voluntary service charities in Britain helping older people each month to stay active, independent and involved in their communities. They can provide the break that some carers desperately need through their local services.

Simplyhealth are supporting Royal Voluntary Service this Christmas, and as part of our campaign we are hoping to highlight this forum to more carers who may be struggling.

The campaign is running from 1st December 2017 - 6th January 2018 and we are aiming to raise £10,000 for Royal Voluntary Service by signing up more carers to this community.

You can view our campaign here and share with your friends on Facebook/Twitter if you wish: youtube.com/watch?v=h_cISFU...(Not working as expected?)

Have any of our members had experience with Royal Voluntary Services and benefitted from what they offer?
