  5. Voices of Volunteering: 75 years of citizenship and service Royal Voluntary Service’s 2 year oral history project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund Focusing on WVS/WRVS volunteers 1938-2013 Over 80 volunteers shared their stories A wide variety of experiences, services and subjects Looking at change, benefits, individuals and society In this lesson we will look at the impact volunteering can have on people’s lives

  6. Objectives To describe the roles played by voluntary groups in society, and the ways in which citizens work together to improve their communities (statutory KS3 citizenship) To describe the different ways in which a citizen can contribute to the improvement of his or her community (statutory citizenship KS4) To analysis of the meaning and content of historical sources. (GCSE AQA history) To recognise that historical knowledge, understanding and skills help understand the present and also provide a basis for the idea of responsible citizens. (GCSE AQA history) To analyse the problems associated with an ageing dependent population (GCSE AQA geography)

  7. Your tasks You will listen to some oral history clips about the different services volunteers have provided for older people. For each one there will be some questions to answer. At the end you will need to fill in the table in as much detail as you can.

  8. Cyril Barnes: Meals-on-Wheels How did this volunteer feel about what he had given to the older people? Why did he feel that his meal on wheels service was important? Why might the older person getting meals on meals from this volunteer look forward to his visit?

  9. Mary Howard-Jones: Day Clubs According to this person the lives of older people have changed over the 30 years. Explain how she thinks older peoples lives have changes. What are the benefits of this and the disadvantages of this?

  10. Sheila Lamont: Books-on-Wheels • Explain what did the older persons actions (making the coffee) show about the way she felt about the volunteer.

  11. Alison Findlay: • Old Peoples Welfare What preconceptions does this volunteer have about the older people? Why might going on holiday be important for the older people? How could this change their lives in the longer term? How did the holiday experience enrich people lives? Holidays Emergency Services

  12. Sandra Taylor: Lunch Clubs In what ways are the luncheon clubs important? How did this person feel about knocking on doors to ask people to the luncheon clubs? Why? How did this person explain the opening and closing of the different services? What do you think the impact on an older person is, if a service closes that they rely on?

  13. Persuade Think about the loneliness that these older people have described. You will now need to think about the services RVS provides, or come up with a new service that they could provide, and persuade people donating to RVS that this is a valuable service to offer.

  14. Persuade Stretch and challenge What other services could you provide for the older people in your community? You will have to persuade the rest of your classmates that this is a worthwhile service to volunteer to provide. Think about How would it work? What would the benefits be for the older person? How would you encourage the older people to use this service? Support Use the transcripts of the oral histories to focus on two of the services in detail and be ready to explain to someone who doesn’t know about RVS why the services that they provide are so important.

  15. Finally Why are the services provided today different from the ones provided in the past? What services do you think that older people would like in the future? How are the services of the future different to what is needed today?

  16. Finally: Independent study Talk to an older person about a service you could provide What do they think about your idea? Would they enjoy this service being provided for them?
