| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, reports, minutes, accounts, leaflets, invitations, agendas and funding requests pertaining to welfare societies in Belfast, the Crescent Youth Centre (CYC) and Lagan College. Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust, Barrow Cadbury Fund Ltd. Applicant overview: The Belfast Voluntary Service Society (BVSS) aims to improve the quality of life, particularly for the under-privileged, the handicapped and the elderly in Belfast. The BVSS provides an advice service and employs a social worker to address family issues. The CYC was set up in a disused school building in a non-sectarian part of Belfast. The aim of the centre is to appeal to provide young people with a place of relaxation, regardless of religious or political affiliation. Lagan College is the only secondary school in Northern Ireland under joint Catholic and Protestant management. It was founded by All Children Together (ACT) to support non-sectarian education. Nature of support: In 1979 the Trust provided a single grant of £150 to cover the cost of losses suffered through theft at the BVSS offices in Belfast. That same year a £1,000 grant was made towards the running costs of CYC. In 1983 £3,000 was provided towards the Lagan College appeal.
