USE YOUR SKILLS

Whatever your wishes and your enthusiasms, there’s a task within RSVP West waiting for you. We need volunteers in all communities to help in every conceivable way. But in particular we’re looking for people both to run existing projects and also to create and organise new ones that tap into the latent skills and available time of older people all over the Region.

In particular, please look through our list of projects. Almost every project on this list urgently needs more volunteers to sustain and enlarge its activities. There are also unlimited opportunities for you to start a new project in your own locality or to match your special interests.

We encourage you to donate your time for the benefit of your local community, but not your money. RSVP membership is free and we will ensure that your out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed, either by the organisation being served or in some other appropriate way. All RSVP members are covered by personal accident and third party insurance (details here).

Contact us by post, telephone, or e-mail for more information.
