Voluntary Community Service (VCS) Bulletin from December 1965. This two-page document was intended to inform readers of the latest news, progress of Voluntary Community Service (VCS) projects and to help keep in touch with all who are interested. The bulletin briefly states the VCS objectives, future events, current issues and talks about the work and involvement of Michael Layzell, the first full-time VCS volunteer.

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.
