South Wales Echo newspaper clipping about grants, titled 'Wanted: Projects for young to give help'. The article focuses on the South Glamorgan Committee for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Appeal inviting applications for grant aid, for projects that help young people to help others and thus benefit the community.

Voluntary Community Service (VCS) received two grants: a sum of £400 for a summer work camp, and £200 for the tools to help disabled and older people (see ‘Projects’, paragraphs 2 and 3).

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.
