What we do

The Virtual Village Hall is a free, online activity hub and community, designed by Royal Voluntary Service with support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery. It helps people stay mentally and physically active, socially connected and having fun, and supports them to better manage their health, including long-term conditions. It offers everything you’d expect to find at a typical community centre or village hall, only virtually. Around 20,000 people use it every month.

The Virtual Village Hall offers live activity sessions every weekday on YouTube, Facebook and the VVH website, and there's a library of 3,000+ activity sessions to watch on demand. Activities are updated regularly.

Sessions are hosted by expert tutors and presenters, including some well-known faces. Activities include gentle exercise and dance classes, yoga and meditation, cooking, crafts, creative writing and more. It’s free to join and take part. No sign in or subscription required.

Who do we support

The VVH is open to anyone, and is a diverse, inclusive and welcoming space. People that might find it particularly helpful are:

• People that find it difficult to get out and about or spend much of their time at home, perhaps because of older age or frailty, a long-term health condition or disability, poor mental health, caring responsibilities, a lack of confidence to get out and about, or that face cost-of-living challenges.
• People that are temporarily at home, for example, following a hospital operation, having a baby, or between jobs.

Health & Social Care professionals use it too, like GPs, nurses and social prescribers, hospital and community health teams, activity coordinators in care homes, and those supporting people in social housing and supported living.

This service is for people aged 18+.
