The organisation was formed in 1931[1] and is a registered charity in England, Wales and Scotland.[2] Guiding ethosThe mission of the International Voluntary Service is to foster Peace and understanding between peoples and nations through the mutual exchange of volunteers. This ethos is summed up by the strapline 'Volunteering for Peace'.[3] HistoryFormationIn 1931, Service Civil International sent a team of international volunteers to the Welsh colliery town of Brynmawr. The volunteers redeveloped a brownfield site into a public park, which included an outdoor swimming pool.[4] The Brynmawr redevelopment was the first international project in the United Kingdom and marked the beginning of International Voluntary Service, shortly after IVS became the first recognised branch of the SCI. Second World WarIn 1939 the UK Government officially recognised alternative civilian service as an alternative to military service. This policy change led to sharp rise in the number active volunteers. Current activitiesPeace educationSince 2011, IVS has delivered peace education within UK schools.
