TODAY is Older People’s Day and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the inspirational older people Royal Voluntary Service works with across Wales.
Older people make a huge contribution to society and are the social glue of many communities. Over 66 per cent of our volunteers are over 60 themselves and we could not provide the support we do without their help. We have so much to learn from our volunteers as our recent event GrandFest proved, where older people ran master classes teaching heritage craft skills and generously shared their decades of experience.
