Description

A Voluntary Community Service's Annual Report for 1980-81. It includes a report from Dave Roberts, VCS Chairperson, a financial report, and brief history of VCS up to 1981. It highlights achievements, the Volunteer Bureau projects (decorating, gardening, work camps, play schemes) and the Grangetown Community Development Project, which supported various groups and individuals in the Grangetown area of Cardiff.

Voluntary Community Service (VCS) was established in Cardiff in October 1964 with main aim, as stated in its constitution, to promote any charitable purposes, advancement of education, and relief of poverty, distress, and sickness in the City of Cardiff. Originally VCS co-ordinated a team of volunteers involved in activities such as helping elderly people with gardening and decorating, running summer ‘work camps’ for children and young people. Its mission today is to enable people who are most disadvantaged to engage with rewarding volunteering opportunities, facilitating their personal development and employment prospects.
