Our group of Royal Marine Association Support Volunteers (RMASV) are trained volunteers. They provide both practical help and emotional support to the RM veteran community in a variety of ways – it could be a vitally important regular friendly chat at home or on the telephone to ease social isolation and build a sense of camaraderie and belonging; or practical, day-to-day help such as lifts to hospital and medical appointments or help with form filling. RMASV’s are part of the Health & Wellbeing Team and are our eyes and ears out in the veteran community. Volunteers need to be comfortable with using a computer/laptop as an essential part of the role is to keep records of contacts with beneficiaries and communicate with the team and others via e-mail.
