Photograph of a decorated window display at the Voluntary Community Service (VCS) office on 38 Charles Street, advertising summer play schemes taking place around Cardiff.

The motto ''half of our business is kids' stuff'' appears on a United Nations Association International poster in the window. The motto referred to the fact that half of the work camp projects concerned children.

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.
