Why is Royal Voluntary Service leading this?

Royal Voluntary Service has been a leader in volunteering for over 85 years. We’ve delivered large national programmes like NHS and Care Volunteer Responders, giving us deep experience in connecting volunteers to vital roles at scale.

By leading the creation of GoVo, we aim to:

• Apply our knowledge of what works in volunteering.

• Build on our existing relationships with charities, volunteers, and communities.

• Develop a platform that meets real needs and is co-designed with the voluntary sector.

• Ensure GoVo supports, rather than replaces, existing volunteer networks.
