Cardiff Post newspaper article on how Voluntary Community Service (VCS) offers advice to people seeking to join voluntary projects. Due to higher demand, the VCS St Mary’s Street bureau will remain open every weekday. This development has been made possible by funding from the Volunteering in Wales Fund administered by Wales Council for Voluntary Action.

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.
