RSVP Hospital Volunteer in NHS Forth Valley

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) works with NHS Forth Valley to develop volunteering in local hospitals. Volunteers support staff, patients and the general public in a variety of ways across Forth Valley, based in many different departments and services.
Volunteers contribute to the well-being of patients and visitors by being a listening ear, a helpful and friendly face with the aim of making a visit to the hospital a better experience for patients and visitors. Our volunteers feel valued, make new friends and keep active in retirement.
