Built by experts 

Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteering organisations in Britain.

For over 85 years we’ve demonstrated the power of civic participation, inspiring millions of citizens to deliver vital support and relief in communities and the NHS. 

We’re the recognised leaders in using digital to convene volunteers at scale. During the pandemic, we set up the NHS and Care Volunteer Responders programme, the largest digital volunteering initiative of its kind.

A group of diverse volunteers

Built with the sector, for the sector

Nearly 2,000 charities and volunteering organisations have already engaged with  GoVo, and have started posting roles and sharing ideas to help us make it even better. 

Together, we’ve built something that works for real people, real communities and real causes.
