During the year WCVA has strived to provide stable

of voluntary groups and volunteering in Wales. Such a

The mass unemployment of the early thirties

set the scene for the launch of the

The emphasis on the countryside became stronger as the The Forties Council also tackled rural issues, working with Rural Community Councils on "the central "One of the problem of rural important effects of the war, Wales today - the problem of depopulation".

As well as other war work, a

government grant allowed the

Council to help set up seventy

region to tackle some of the

problems referred to above.

Hard on the heels of peace came the

welfare state, but the concern that state

provision could "stifle voluntary action" proved unfounded, as the sector branched out in new directions. In 1946 the Council extended its remit to the whole of Wales and was increasingly involved in everything from refugees to craft work. SIXTY YEARS OF S U C C E S

Negotiations with our sister councils in Scotland and England led to the Objective 3 ESF programme for training unemployed people being fully devolved. Wide consultation preceded a new application process tailored to Welsh organisations and the targeting of need. Over £4m of bids were received and forty different organisations were recommended for funding.

A voluntary sector response was made to the European

Commission's consultation on social policy. The European team also underwent some personnel changes with the appointment of a new ESF Officer in Caerphilly and Administrator in
