68 Royal Vountary Service

Today's episode is what you might describe as a public service announcement. The Royal Voluntary Service, which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, is setting up a group in Portobello to help older people who may be suffering from social isolation. . 

This first group will focus on crafts - but others will follow. The RVS held a "Welcome Event" this week at the Cake and Candy Tearoom. Its first official meeting will take place there on Monday the 9th of April. We went along to find out more.
