Voluntary Social Service—5 ' Public Relations' W. McG. EAGAR

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

On April 23 Mr. W. McG. Eagar opened this series with a talk showing the extent to which Voluntary Social Service has grown in this country. The following week Mr. Blakiston sketched the historical background ; then Dr. H. A. Mess went on to explain the motives behind this great cause. Last week Mr. Eagar took up the threads again and described the organisation, and today he is to wind up the series.
He will try to show how the Voluntary Social Service retains both its vitality and the interest of the public, with its changing needs. He will show how voluntary and official action interlock ; the problems raised ; the change in outlook from condescension to co-operation. How much co-ordination is there ? Is more necessary or desirable ? What would be the effect of more public control ?
