Default NWVS badge

I would welcome a positive i.d. for this blue & white enamelled lapel badge. Sadly, it is worse for wear with a substantial loss of enamel.
The stumbling block is the 'W', which could signify any of several contenders: Wives, Wireless, Workers, etc. Personally, I'd go for 'Naval Wives Voluntary Service' but that is only a guess. It may be of assistance that it has a brooch fitting, and not a buttonhole.
Maker is Fattorini & Sons Ld, 36 Barr St, B'ham (1958 address)

There's one on flicker which is suggested as Naval Women's Voluntary Service
though the person who posted it does say this is based only on the initials and he does ask for any further info (after almost 1000 views there hasn't been any replies)

Sorry, not much help really....
