  • Age Really IS Just a Number!
    Age really IS just a number! Age really IS just a number! Caerphilly is probably best known for its cheese, but a project set up to look at stereotypes of younger and older people has found that people from Caerphilly and across the United Kingdom are really cheesed off with how they are portrayed. Age is Just a Number! is a local campaign in Caerphilly that has attracted interest from across Wales and beyond. The campaign aims to promote better understanding, improve tolerance, and help bridge the generation gap between older and younger people. The campaign uses powerful, positive pictures submitted by Caerphilly residents. The overarching aim of Age is just a number! is to encourage orgnaisations and the Media to use more positive images, which in time it will begin to break down some of the negative stereotypes people have of younger and older people. THE CAMPAIGN The campaign started in 2010 with a photographic competition themed “We are not as bad as you think we are!” to help find a stock of positive images that would challenge current stereotypes of young and old alike. The competition was followed up with questionnaires that attracted over 650 responses from every part of Wales and across the United Kingdom. The results showed that people are very clear in their views on the impact of stereotypes and how they make them feel as individuals. When people were asked whether negative stereotypes influence our perceptions of age and a staggering 95% agreed. Negative stereotypes influence people's opinion of Age 100 80 95 60 40 5 20

  • Cardiff to Costa Rica : Journey of a Lifetime
    Cardiff To Costa Rica : Journey Of A Lifetime ‘Journey of a Lifetime’: This factual series, comprising six half hour episodes, reveals the at times heartbreaking and often uplifting stories of 34 people trekking through the Costa Rican Rainforest in aid of the charity Marie Curie. Each has a personal reason for embarking on the adventure, but all must work together to complete the journey of a lifetime. In April 2016 a group of charity fundraisers will leave the Marie Curie Hospice in Penarth and travel to Costa Rica to embark on an eight day trek up volcanoes and through rainforest, over some treacherous terrain, with the aim of raising more than £100,000 between them. Some are trekking in memory of a loved one, others want to push themselves to their limits, and every member of the team wants to raise money for a fantastic cause. Last year Tracey and Liam Maton lost their brother Craig to cancer. Craig had been cared for by the team at Marie Curie, so now Tracey and Craig want to help other families like themselves. For them the trek will be particularly hard, because they’ll be marking Craig’s birthday while they’re in Costa Rica. For Bryan Gunton and Dave Went this trek will be third time lucky. The two friends met on a Marie Curie hike across the Sahara, and later went on to complete a trek along the Great Wall of China. The pair has tales of the trials and tribulations that trekkers face on these charity journeys and they’ll be integral to the success of this latest challenge.

  • Brief Histories of Churches Cardiff
    Brief Histories of Churches in the Roath, Splott, Adamsdown, Cathays, Tremorfa, Tredegarville & Penylan areas of Cardiff Roath Local History Society in Cardiff has as its area of interest the old Parish of Roath in the 1880s. This covered not just the area we know as Roath today but also Splott, Adamsdown, Pengam, Pen-y-lan, and part of Cathays. This brief histories of churches looks at the churches that would have been in the area of old parish of Roath but also strays into neighbouring area such as Tredegarville and Cathays as a whole. There may be more churches to be included such as some mission halls that doubled up both as Sunday Schools as well as a church. A couple of synagogues are also included. Building of other faiths will be added over time, though some are already listed as former church buildings now house other faiths. Some errors and omissions in the details are likely. When the author is made aware of any errors, or additional information comes to light, the details on the website version will be updated where possible. The website also contains an interactive map that pinpoints the individual churches. Research for this compilation has relied heavily on a number of publications by members of Roath Local History Society in particular: ‘Cardiff Churches Through Time’ by Jean Rose. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown, One Thousand Years of History’ by Jeff Childs. ‘Roath, Splott and Adamsdown – the Archive Photographs Series’ by Jeff Childs The author would also like to thank members of the various churches listed for their assistance and individuals of other organisations.

  • City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd
    CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 25 April 2002 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM: Community Planning Background 1. On 21 September 2000 the Council approved the development of a partnership- based community strategy. This reflects the fact that community planning is a key component of the Government’s modernisation agenda and the Council continues to be at the vanguard of the development of community planning in Wales. The Council has taken into account the advice of the National Assembly and is continuing to learn from and help shape best practice by its participation in the Audit Commissions Quality of Life pilot project and the Local Government Information Unit’s Community Planning network. 2. In the last year the Council has continued to work with partners to develop indicators for the Community Strategy, launched Action Forums on Race Equality and the Anti Litter Strategy, undertaken a partnership audit, and tied the Community Strategy into the budgetary and policy development cycles of the Council. This report provides an update on progress in delivering community planning in Cardiff and outlines a work programme for 2002-2003. Issues Emerging from the Congress 3. At the second Capital Congress, which was entitled ‘Time for Delivery’, 100 community planning partners agreed changes to the draft strategy, which is attached to this report as Appendix A. In part, this reflected the results of an extensive survey undertaken in Capital Times that received 2,474 responses. A summary of the results is attached as Appendix B. Capital Congress also agreed the Performance Indicator framework and, at a series of workshops, began evaluating the potential for the delivery of objectives through partnership working.
