  WVS now WRVS was formed in 1938 and by 1943 the organisation had over one million volunteers and was involved in almost every aspect of wartime life. The organisation continues to have over 45.000 volunteers making a difference to the lives of the people they are in contact with. Many of these volunteers may now find themselves in a situation were they could do with a helping hand financially. The WRVS Benevolent Trust is there to help those past and present volunteers. If you know someone who volunteered in the past or currently volunteers and is experiencing difficulty please encouarge them to get in touch with the trust. Grants have been awarded for all sorts of things from new teeth and roof repairs to emergency respite care. I am aware that many people do not like to ask for assistance but this money is available to help them and we need to spread the word.

  Its good to hear of someone giving back to the volunteers in this time of hardship and I dont know of anyone myself personally, but I think some will be too proud to ask as there are two types of people in this world, the takers and the givers.
  
  Well done to the WRVS

  Hi Edna
  Glad my message was read by someone, not done this message board stuff before. I am sure you are right, people are very proud and I think that is why we in the benevolent trust are finding it difficult to increase the number of grants awarded each year. Hopefully more people will come forward as their dedication to others deserves to be repaid if they find themselves in need.
  
  Take care
  
  Pauline
