Brian’s story
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Brian Bailey made the heart-breaking decision to stop his cancer treatment.
Take me thereFrom our inception in 1938, Royal Voluntary Service has stepped up at times of national challenge. During WW2 we recruited one million volunteers to help those in need; we were supporting victims of the Blitz and managing the evacuation of children from the cities. Since then, we’ve responded to numerous emergencies and social challenges across Britain to tackle the needs of the day, and most recently we have been on the front line helping communities and the NHS deal with the Coronavirus pandemic.
Our services are delivered through a variety of different channels, including 1-2-1, in groups and online – supporting people when in hospital, in their homes, and in their communities.
