Dinas powys Voluntary Concern
HELPING, SUPPORTING AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE ELDERLY
Dinas Powys Voluntary Concern (DPVC) has served the local community of Dinas Powys for over 40 years. From its early incarnation as Dinas Powys Council of Social Services, and its remit of helping and co ordinating existing organisations to its present form of running some of these services itself. It has stayed true to its original concept of local help for local people.
