VCS Cardiff is the operating name of Voluntary Community Service (Cymru) – a registered charity which runs the Cardiff Volunteer Centre and has been working to match potential volunteers with opportunities to help in Cardiff since 1964. VCS Cardiff encourages voluntary work by all sections of the local community and supports a policy that everybody has something to offer and is able to become a valued volunteer. Our vision is one where the people of Cardiff make a sustained and valued contribution to society through volunteering. Our mission is to promote a culture of volunteering in Cardiff enabling citizens to engage with rewarding opportunities, facilitating their personal development whilst contributing to society. Our aims are to: - Inspire the people of Cardiff about volunteering and the positive effect it can have on their careers and other areas of life. - Inform the community about volunteering and ensure they know where information and support can be found. - Work in partnership with other bodies and organisations across the sectors. - Maintain and develop a diverse range of volunteering opportunities from a broad range of organisations. - Measure the impact of VCS volunteers and celebrate their work. - Ensure best practice is championed with organisations we work with through the Cardiff Volunteer Co-ordinators Network and Good Practice visits. - Stay at the forefront of knowledge regarding volunteering. Our History VCS was founded in October 1964 following a Cardiff United Nations Youth Group project which ran through that summer at the multicultural Rainbow Children’s Club in Butetown. We were the first local volunteering service to be established in Wales – and only the second in the UK (after the CSV London ‘Task Force’ which was set up six months earlier). Originally VCS co-ordinated a team of volunteers involved in activities such as helping elderly people with gardening and decorating; and running summer ‘work camps’ for young people, which – among many other things – constructed some of Cardiff first children’s adventure playgrounds. As Cardiff’s Third Sector grew to take over much of this direct work, VCS developed the ‘Cardiff Volunteer Job Shop’ in 1975 to match people wanting to volunteer with the opportunities opening up in local organisations. Now known as ‘Cardiff Volunteer Centre’ this work continues to the present day – and in 2014 VCS Cardiff celebrated its 50th anniversary. The number of people choosing to volunteer in Cardiff grows each year – as do the number of opportunities to help the community – and VCS has always changed and adapted to meet the needs of the time. From typewriters & stencils to podcasts & Twitter we have been at the heart of Cardiff’s thriving community life for generations.

Vcs Cardiff Is é an an t-ainm atá ag feidhmiú ar Sheirbhís Pobail Dheonach (An Bhreatain Bheag) – Tá carthanas cláraithe a ritheann an tIonad Deonach Caerdydd agus ag obair a mheaitseáil oibrithe deonacha a d'fhéadfadh deiseanna chun cabhrú i Cardiff ó 1964. Spreagann Vcs Cardiff obair dheonach ag gach cuid den phobal áitiúil agus tacaíonn polasaí go bhfuil rud éigin a thairiscint do gach duine agus tá sé in ann a bheith ina oibrí deonach a luacháil. Ár fís tá sé ar cheann nuair a dhéanann na daoine Caerdydd cion leanúnach agus meas ar an sochaí trí obair dheonach. Ár misean Is cultúr obair dheonach i gCaerdydd ar chumas shaoránaigh a chur chun cinn chun dul i ngleic le deiseanna sásúil, éascú a bhforbairt phearsanta ag an am céanna cur leis an tsochaí. Ár aidhmeanna atá le: - Na daoine a spreagadh de Caerdydd faoi obair dheonach agus an tionchar dearfach is féidir é a bheith ar a ngairmeacha beatha agus réimsí eile den saol. - Eolas a thabhairt don phobal faoi obair dheonach agus a chinntiú a fhios acu nuair is féidir eolas agus tacaíocht a fháil. - Oibriú i gcomhpháirtíocht le comhlachtaí agus eagraíochtaí eile ar fud na n-earnálacha. - A chothabháil agus a raon éagsúil de dheiseanna saorálaíochta ó réimse leathan eagraíochtaí a fhorbairt. - Beart an tionchar oibrithe deonacha Vcs agus a cheiliúradh a gcuid oibre. - Tá an cleachtas is fearr a chinntiú throid le heagraíochtaí a mbímid ag obair tríd an Líonra Comhordaitheoirí Cardiff Deonacha agus cuairteanna Dea-Chleachtais. - Fan ar thús cadhnaíochta an eolais maidir le obair dheonach. Ár Stair A bunaíodh i mí Dheireadh Fómhair Vcs 1964 a leanann Grúpa Óige Cardiff na Náisiún Aontaithe a bhí ar siúl tríd an tsamhraidh ag Club an ilchultúrtha Rainbow Leanaí i Butetown. Bhí muid an chéad seirbhís obair dheonach áitiúla a bhunú sa Bhreatain Bheag - agus gan ach an dara ceann sa Ríocht Aontaithe (tar éis an CSV Londain 'Tascfhórsa' a cuireadh ar bun de shé mhí roimhe sin). Ar dtús Vcs Chomhordaigh foireann oibrithe deonacha a bhfuil baint acu le gníomhaíochtaí cosúil le cuidiú le daoine scothaosta a bhfuil garraíodóireachta agus maisiú; agus a reáchtáil tsamhraidh 'campaí oibre' do dhaoine óga, a - i measc go leor rudaí eile - tógtha roinnt áiteanna súgartha eachtraíochta Caerdydd ar dtús leanaí. Mar a d'fhás an Tríú Earnáil Caerdydd a ghlacadh ar láimh i bhfad ar an obair dhíreach, Vcs d'fhorbair an 'Cardiff Deonach Siopa Jabanna' i 1975 chun dhaoine ar mian leo obair dheonach a dhéanamh leis na deiseanna a oscailt suas in eagraíochtaí áitiúla a mheaitseáil. Ar a dtugtar anois mar 'Ionad Oibrithe Deonacha Cardiff' Leanann an obair seo go dtí an lá atá inniu ann - agus i 2014 Vcs Cardiff ceiliúradh ar chomóradh 50 bliain. Fásann an líon daoine a roghnú chun obair dheonach a dhéanamh i gCaerdydd gach bliain - mar a dhéanann an líon deiseanna chun cuidiú leis an bpobal – agus tá Vcs athrú i gcónaí agus in oiriúint chun freastal ar riachtanais an t-am. Ó clóscríobháin & stionsail chun podchraoltaí & Twitter a bhí againn ag croílár saol an phobail Caerdydd rathúil do na glúnta atá.
