Opportunities for volunteers to help our members 

  • We need a volunteer to take a man in Thame to the Market on Tuesday mornings. This can be either by car or pushed in his wheelchair. He enjoys going there in order to meet up with people he has know in Thame over many years. Its mostly to get out of the house and mix socially.

Project Co-ordinator - Carol Johnson 

I joined RCV in 2008 after working in banking for over 20 years.

I have lived in VWH area for more than 10 years.

I have a Degree in Psychology which I wanted to use, so RCV seemed the ideal choice for me to further my experience.

The VWH Branch is a very well established group with many successful and long term partnerships.

We hold a Pub Lunch every other month and try to do other social activities in between.

We are always looking for new members and volunteers.
