The Virtual Village Hall

The Virtual Village Hall is a free, online activity hub and community designed by the charity, Royal Voluntary
Service. It helps people stay mentally and physically active, socially connected and having fun, supporting
them to better manage their health, including long-term conditions.

Health & Social Care professionals are finding it helpful particularly for social prescribing. It’s free to join with
no registration or subscription required.

Who is it for?

The Virtual Village Hall is open to anyone. People that might find it particularly helpful are:

  • Older people that are comfortable online and using social media.
  • People that spend much of their time at home, perhaps because of a long-term health condition or disability, poor mental health, caring responsibilities, a lack of confidence to get out and about, or that face cost-of-living challenges.
  • People that are temporarily at home, for example, following a hospital operation, having a baby, or between jobs.
