PJtuJMCBB) W B welr fortunate to receive substantial capital support for this project from the Anglo-American Group Chair-man's Fund. This hat enabled us to start building. We have also received pledges from other donor agencies to cover the c o d of running the Centre: but we are naturally having to find more funds to otfwt the rising cost of drugs and other equipment

3 , TRANSVAAL BRANCH The least developed of our Blanch offices a t present is tbe Trans­vaal Branch- This has been caused by several factors amongst which it shortage of personnel and resources, but it has also been because of the desire of the Board of Director* to strengthen work in other irc.11 frnt instead of attempting to be all over at the same time. Our intention in 1977 will be to grve more attention to thli area

The growing complex! ly ot iocic ly will irmullanrously:-

Encourage aierage persona lo "drop mil" D ! national and n

national ISSHM, lino? ll"'re iwu- i will In- beyond their llulllly to comprehend, let alone change

Kncourage "expert*", not inlublted by the complexity of Ihe o*uo», to assume control, will) n battery of increasingly effective method* l o influence Iho gnnerat population lo support their policies.

A growing (roup or the mint Inlcnled. senntive, and wai.hmr young i» In Hi «nd adolesoenU will be repelled by what ittwy mHT"~ prot at politicking, commercial iun. high pressure herein cracy. and the so-called "btu sociely". They will »eck expression and careers in Mi- arts. I l i r humanities; in teaching in primary and! secondary schools; in social service in rural and urban areas; ttj o r g a n i c and unorganised political onion social protest and so un.'Uwgynka*— commitment lo an uncorrupted inak wil l be their goal.

•niE ROUS Or- mi ' ron THE FUTURE The projection* of the future cited here have pointed toward a sccioty of irwrreaMug complexity and interdependence. More and morn, oven so-coiled 'local problems" wil l be teen lo be in uu th not Isolated local problem* al al l , but rather local mahlfesU lions "Manger and more complex regional, national or even mrernstionnl problems which will require co-ordinated efrurla on o biOBrl base lo solve.

We can no longer afford to nibble away piece by p|oop at t*W piO-blcm*. Our ailment* ore von and complex, and I hey will yctld only to planned collahotalive effort* focussed oil clew Objectives and loading; lo meaningful action If voluntary onwnimlioiu are to have any significant Impact on the key problems of bolh l lw pro-senl and the future, It l i clear that their leaden will need In give serious Ihoughl to organmationsl objective* and to the necessary •'•••ikVi in ••FU'.iri-'.i'-nTiii •.tm.v.irc mill luiiftnimng which WlU make it rxraibte to achieve these objecllvn.

One of the obvious implication* of iho projection* lo l lw future Is

mat many of the emerging problem* of our socWty are so large aiid complex thai they will not be effectively Influenced by single ofBinlfcil ions working on them alone. I f the complex problem* are t« he solved, oiganiralion* muni leam how to work effectively at palls of latger teams which co ordinate the effort* of many organ) gallons and Institution*.

There are other organ national implication* of the (rends whK'h are working in the present lo shape iho future.

Traditional institution* are not adequately Involving, utilising, or responding to iho changinmeedi of young sdullt.

With the Increase in the expectations of people to Influence and control the programmes directly affecting them, an organisation h i he viable In the future wilt need to develop new ways of hwoif-i i i * people (particularly youth) in determining their own pro-mum mca nod -policies.

With the proliferation of volunteer organ rial Ion*, the oiwi which wil l be ignored or become obsolete wil l be thute do not build an piBjniiiitioiinl •trtiriuie that provides opportunity for Innovation & « f le ' ib i j i i y^^n l i l i i ig them to be dramatically relevant to the ennngmg needs of people.

Those organitalions which wil l be in the vanguard of the future wil l be lho*e which are not content to pnwively reflect the society around Ihem, but which ow the bnsli^of llieir value commitment*, win push society in Iho directions they believe II should be going.

To be relevant l o the future, volunteer organisation* must ho clear In tbeur objective.*, and lo arcomplbh l i r a objectives wil l need to uicreaw their flexibility and i mil new pattern) o f leaderahip, in-(luenco, involeomont and co-operallve efforl .
