CSV Choices is about providing personalised care through volunteers. Does having your support needs met by volunteers sound risky? It isn’t. Here is what some current Choices service users say:
“Following my accident I was left paralysed. Having lost the use of most of my body and my husband, I was facing losing my children, my independence and entering residential care. CSV Volunteers have supported me for over 25 years and I have brought up my boys, got a degree and started my own counselling business. CSV volunteers gave me my independence to live the life I chose.”

For over 30 years CSV volunteers have enabled people with different care needs to live their lives and be able to...
- Continue living at home
- Get the most out of university and college
- Go to work
- Bring up their family
- Take on new interests
- Go on holiday
- Become less isolated.
In other words, MAKE CHOICES!
CSV Choices is supported by voluntary sector care providers including KeyRing, MS Society, and NAAPS (National Association of Adult Placement Services).
CSV has 40 years experience of working with volunteers. Our UK network of local offices and staff are there to support volunteers and the people they help.
