Royal Voluntary Service can help older people maintain their independence and stay involved in the local community.

We have volunteers in Northamptonshire who offer help and support so older people can stay safe warm and well at home across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry and Northampton.

See our local services below but we may be able to offer you more. If you can't find something suitable for you or a loved one then just ask.

As everyone is different, Royal Voluntary Service can tailor support to your individual needs. We’ll visit you at home and work with you to create a support package that suits you.

All out volunteers are DBS checked.

There are over 100 sports clubs in Corby and surrounding villages, some of which use Corby Borough Council leisure facilities to train, compete or just as their home for meetings.

The Sport & Play Development Team work very close with local sports clubs in the form of the Corby Sports Forum, a constituted body made up of representatives from local clubs to act as a steering group for sport.  As part of the partnership, the Sport & Play team support clubs by providing information regarding funding, club development, courses & training and any other information or issues clubs might face. Follow the link provided for further infomation about specific groups and direct contact details.

The Teamwork Trust is a registered charity and a social enterprise based on St Marks Road, St James Industrial Estate, Corby, delivering a wide range of programmes for vulnerable adults who have short-term or enduring mental health issues, learning difficulties and /or physical disabilities.

The Well Walking Group meets every Sunday at 11.00am in the Boating Lake car park.  Sessions cost 50p with the proceeds going to Lakelands Hospice.

If you thought your football career was over, think again! Walking Football is a slower paced version of the game, aimed at the over 50s.

Smaller pitches and plenty of breaks ensure participants enjoy a safe and enjoyable return to football. The slower pace doesn’t detract from the competition though – it’s much more than a stroll in the park!  Matches are played on the Astro turf pitch at West Glebe Pavillion.  As the session is outdoors please wear suitable footwear & clothing

The first session is free thereafter £2.00. 

All of our walks are designed to encourage participation in a fun and friendly environment. 
Ranging from a 15 minute walk to walks over 60 minutes in duration, you will have the chance to sample some of Corby's beautiful countryside and iconic landmarks. 

Our volunteer leaders are very welcoming and will provide the necessary support and guidance needed for you to enjoy your experience!
