Its work was to involve the assisting of charitable bodies financially or otherwise, collecting contributions, funds, gifts, etc, procuring and providing information, publishing leaflets, pamphlets, etc and arranging meetings, lectures and exhibitions. In 1974, the Council became known as the Derby Council for Voluntary Service. |
