Newspaper clipping: 'Volunteering choices takes to road', Cardiff, July 1999

Description

Cardiff Post newspaper article on a new mobile computer service, launched by Voluntary Community Service (VCS) and operated by Miss Bwalya Kalimamukwento, VCS Outreach Worker. It describes how such a service can help to make an instant match between potential volunteers and volunteering opportunities available.

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.
