Tackling poverty and social exclusion through culture, heritage and the arts Chair’s foreword The Committee chose to look at the ways in which poverty and social exclusion are mitigated by the arts and culture in the summer of 2019. There are so many examples of the excellent work done by Welsh arts and cultural organisations that to say we were impressed is an understatement. Each one of the projects we learned about had helped to transform someone’s life. Whether by reaching out to elderly people to provide stimulating activities, or introducing young people to orchestra and dance, the results of engaging creatively had lasting impact. We know that the skills people gain from engaging in creative activity can help them develop skills which can improve their situation. We also know that participation in the arts can alleviate the effects of poverty and social exclusion. This is what makes it so important to ensure that our cultural life in Wales includes everyone. We heard that encouraging wider participation can sometimes seem like an uphill struggle as the arts are viewed as elitist or out of touch. For instance, Kathryn from Rubicon Dance told us “the communities we work with don’t think of themselves as hard to reach, often they find cultural and other organisations distant and disconnected from their lives. This begs the question of who exactly are the hard to reach”. Is it in fact, cultural organisations themselves? Public money supports this activity. This happens directly through public funding for organisations supported by the Arts Council for Wales and indirectly through the Welsh Government’s Fusion Programme. This programme is designed to encourage our cultural organisations to make links with communities to provide opportunities for people facing economic barriers to enjoy our culture and heritage. All of Wales’ internationally recognised arts institutions are engaged in reaching out to new audiences. We also found a desire by participants to have greater control over the cultural activities they participate in. There are challenges associated with extending cultural activities to communities which then lack the infrastructure to support ongoing work. It can feel as if large arts institutions have parachuted in for a short time and the benefits of this are not built on. I am confident that our cultural institutions can and should be enjoyed by everyone and Wales’ cultural flag bearers are up for the challenge of creating that lasting impact on audiences regardless of background. 5 Count me in! Tackling poverty and social exclusion through culture, heritage and the arts Recommendations Recommendation 1. The Welsh Government should commission a wholesale evaluation of the Fusion programme which assesses the original objectives, funding and evaluation. .................................................................................................................................. Page 17 Recommendation 2. The Arts Council of Wales should ensure that all members of Arts Portfolio Wales (its revenue-funded organisations) work with the different communities they serve to design their programme of activities. ........................... Page 17 Recommendation 3. The Welsh Government should guarantee funding for the Fusion programme to provide security of tenure for the Fusion Co-ordinators. .............................................................................................................................................................................................

  • BREXIT at a GLANCE... What Happened This Week
    BREXIT AT A GLANCE... Weekly news, views and insights from the Welsh NHS Confederation Friday, 21 June Please cascade information where appropriate to your workforce and care providers What Happened This Week... This week has been busy, both in terms of our work to support members and of course all the developments in the Tory Leadership race. This week we attended the Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre Brexit and Devolution event. The event marked the two-year anniversary of the publication ‘Brexit and Devolution’ and it was an opportunity for the Institute for Government, Counsel General and Brexit Minister Jeremy Miles, and a panel of industry professionals to discuss how Brexit has and will change the context of Wales’ devolution within the larger UK context. In this event the Minster warned that a chaotic no deal Brexit threatens the future of the UK. We also attended the Welsh Government’s Health Social Services Brexit Communications meeting. During the meeting there was a discussion around how the communication cascade system that was introduced as part of the no- deal planning can be improved to better facilitate the spread of information to front line professionals and the public, especially when no-deal planning is reactivated. The Brexit Communications Plan will also be examined and updated to better reflect the current context and how things have changed since earlier in the year. We spent two days at Confed19, the annual NHS Confederation’s conference, in Manchester – which was a hit all round! There were lots of great speakers and the opportunity to meet with individuals doing great work across the Confederation and the NHS as a whole system.

  • 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.
