The Beginnings Of AYA – Part 2

May to July 1970 – Meetings were held in Aylesbury by heads of the six secondary schools with representatives of the local welfare organisations and the Rotary Club of Aylesbury to consider the possibility of ‘closer co-ordination of existing social service by young people in Aylesbury’. Alex Dickson (founder of Voluntary Service Overseas and Community Service Volunteers) gave advice on the best way forward, and offered for a full time Community Service Volunteer to provide the necessary channels of co-ordination and communication for the project.
