Visit to the National Archives of the WRVS

On Wednesday 22nd September I visited the archives of the Woman's Royal Voluntary Service in Devizes. The Service had recently won a UNESCO award for the incredible narratives that they keep at the archives. Matthew McMurray WRVS Archivist and Alice Cleland a Collection Volunteer (pictured) showed me around all the fascinating artefacts and told me about the work that the group is still doing to support elderly people across the country.
