This #NeverGiveUpDay, we’re celebrating our amazing #volunteers who have battled adversity to help others. Volunteers like Heather, a single mum from #Doncaster who was struggling to get off benefits when she began helping at a Royal Voluntary Service day centre.

Great to finally meet up with the #agefriendlybanbury “Town Centre” group face to face in the sunshine outside @RVSOxon Cornhill Centre today.
Lots of great work going on to roll out the AFB Pledge plus make Banbury ever more age friendly.

Many of the people who need our help are older people, who may not know that we're here to support them. If you know an older person who is NOT on Twitter, who has EVER volunteered with @RoyalVolService, please let them know about our grants. We're here to help them 🤗

#AgeFriendlyBanbury were out and about on Monday, checking for accessibility of shop fronts, sites for benches and signage. Our volunteer Diane, who had not been out for months, helped us prove which shops were accessible and which helpful despite physical barriers. 😀🌦️
