@WrvsServWelfare @RoyalVolService @WrvsswD I had a fantastic day hearing all about the service we offer at ATC Pirbright from Karen and Mark!

Yesterday Denise Murphy, Head of WRVS Services Welfare, along with Sam Ward Deputy CEO @RoyalVolService visited the new WRVS Centre at ATC Pirbright. In the picture, they are pointing at hearts ❤️where Phase One trainees write down where they come from. @WrvsswD @SamRoyalVols

There is no better part of my job than spending time with the @RoyalVolService team, getting out to our services, hearing what is going well, where the challenges are. This week I was with Michelle, our Service Manager at @WorcsAcuteNHS and her fab team with Dave Stott 😁

Lovely morning with our staff and volunteers at @RoyalVolService @RoyalVolsStaffs #HanleyCentre opening our doors for #thebighelpout

Wishing our wonderful CEO Catherine Johnstone a very Happy Birthday today. Catherine joined @RoyalVolService nearly 7 years ago and has led us skilfully through some of our most challenging times. Thank you Catherine, have a great day!

What a lovely way to start a @RoyalVolService #Trustee committee meeting, and also the first of the new #impactandinfluence committee with cakes 🧁 Happy Birthday Nicola! 😁

Hi Friends, I have literally been ‘roped’ into a Zip Wire challenge to raise funds for RVS, money raised will help support those in need across our communities, such as Dementia support services and Patient Transport. Please support if you can 😁 🙏 justgiving.com/page/sam-ward-…
