Description
Extract from a short historical account of the United Nations Association, UNA, containing major events from 1979 to 1981. The document includes descriptions of Cardiff work camps, campaign against the Arms Trade, International Year of the Child and Christmas Party, the first Schools' debate, and the City Hall Spring Fair where Robert Davies exhibited his works of art.
Robert Davies, who actively volunteered with VCS, UNA, and many other organisations, is currently VCS Honorary President. He founded Voluntary Community Service (VCS) in Cardiff in October 1964. The organisation's main aim, as stated in its constitution, is 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.
