The Royal Voluntary Service (known as the Women's Voluntary Service from 1938 to 1966; Women's Royal Voluntary Service from 1966 to 2005 and WRVS from 2005 to 2013) is a voluntary organization concerned with helping people in need throughout England, Scotland and Wales. It was founded in 1938 by Stella Isaacs, Marchioness of Reading as a British women's organization to aid civilians. ==Objectives== On 16 May 1938, the British government set out the objectives of the Women's Voluntary Service for Civil Defence: It was seen “as the enrolment of women for Air Raid Precaution Services of Local Authorities, to help to bring home to every household what air attack may mean, and to make known to every household (the country ) what it can do to protect itself and the community.” In the words of the then Home Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, "as regards their civil defence functions, the Minister regards the Women's Voluntary Service as occupying ... much the same relationship as that of the women's auxiliary services for the armed forces of the Crown."
