Strategic ambitions Please provide an overview of your institution’s 3 year [and beyond if longer term plans are available] approach to research and innovation activity which will be supported by RWIF. You may wish to highlight broad areas which you are targeting, and describe how RWIF funding will align with your institutional mission and internal strategies. [max 300 words] This 3 year strategy comes at a particular moment in our history, when celebrating our centenary, we have had to come together as a community in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will use this opportunity to reflect on what we might achieve over the next few years that will resonate for our second century. We are proud to belong to the City of Swansea and the wider Swansea Bay City Region (SBCR) and we celebrate that heritage. We will strengthen our position within the SBCR, as the region’s major university, with the quality and scale of research and innovation to facilitate powerful strategic collaborations between universities, government funding bodies, our extensive SME network, large companies, and their supply chains; and to deliver transformational economic and social benefits both within Wales, the UK and across the rest of the world.

  • Pre-Industrial Swansea: Siting and Development
    34 PRE-INDUSTRIAL SWANSEA: SITING AND DEVELOPMENT Gerald Gabb Abstract This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. Starting with the Norse origins of Swansea followed by its Norman developments, the article draws on what limited evidence is available, including archaeological evidence from recent excavations. The article considers the importance of Swansea’s topography as a trading port and discusses some of its important medieval buildings, including the castle and major churches. This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. It addresses data from at least seven centuries, across which continuities figure strongly. Even when John Evans published his ‘Plan of Swansea’ in 1823 the area of the town had only crept a little beyond the perimeter of the town walls of the fourteenth century.1 Industrialization was soon to trigger rapid expansion, but what follow are some thoughts on the slower changes which came before that. Two things should be borne in mind. In any study of this sort, direct evidence is minimal. To adopt the technique of reductio ad absurdum for a moment, there is no extant report made by a steward to the first lord of Gower, Henry, Earl of Warwick, on the best place for his caput castle and town, nor, and this is less ludicrous, a burgess minute from the 1640s on where the new market house should go.

West Glamorgan Archive Service Civic Centre Oystermouth Road Swansea SA1 3SN Email [email protected] Internet www.swansea.gov.uk/westglamorganarchives Phone 01792 636589 Fax 01792 637130 A Gazetteer of Localities in the West Glamorgan area By Andrew Dulley West Glamorgan Archive Service, 2008 Introduction This is a list of the parishes, manors, localities, hamlets, villages and towns in the West Glamorgan area, with information about each which will help to show its location and give some background information to it. The aim has been to show which ancient parish (and where possible, modern ecclesiastical parish) each is in, with details of which local authority it has been part of over the years, which estates owned land in the area, and its location. Locations are given in two ways. The abbreviation NGR has been used for National Grid Reference, which is given correct to 1km. The Ordnance Survey County Series sheet is also given; see the keysheets on the next few pages. In addition, the ancient parish and, where relevant, the parish division, are also given for each place described. This should make it possible to locate each place on the tithe map, as well as superseded and current Ordnance Survey maps at a scale of 1:2500.

  • Penderi Cluster IMTP 2020-2023
    Integrated Medium Term Plan (IMTP) 2020 - 2023 1 | P a g e Welcome to the Penderi Cluster IMTP 2020 – 2023 Section 1 Executive Summary Welcome to the Penderi Cluster Plan 2020-2023 which highlights the Cluster vision and priorities and how we will achieve them over the next 3 years. The Cluster has made great strides forward in tackling the ‘prevention’ agenda and has developed new and innovative ways of working that have reaped benefits in terms of supporting practice sustainability and addressing the Quadruple Aims outlined in Welsh Government’s A Healthier Wales (2018). The Cluster has come a long way over the past 6 years. We have taken an innovative, preventative approach to supporting children & families by developing and testing a new model of working in partnership with the Local Authority. The ‘Primary Care Child and Family Wellbeing Service’ takes a holistic approach to supporting children and families experiencing mental health issues and developmental delay in the family home. The model proved so successful in the Penderi that it has been rolled out to a further two clusters in Swansea. This ‘upstream’ approach has demonstrated improved wellbeing outcomes for children and their families..I am delighted to say that the project has won an NHS award in the ‘Improving Health and Wellbeing ‘category Other innovative projects that have been supported within the Cluster include: the Penderi Young People’s Project that supports 11-25 year olds with their emotional and mental health. Carers Helpdesks have been introduced working collaboratively with Swansea Carers Centre. The practices in the Penderi Cluster are piloting the West Glamorgan GP Carers accreditation scheme.

    REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF EXECUTIVE - PERFORMANCE CATALOGUE SUPPLIES SERVICE JOINT COMMITTEE 28 th SEPTEMBER 2011 PERFORMANCE REVIEW AUGUST 2011 1. Purpose of Report The purpose of the report is to provide the Joint Committee with an appraisal of the Service trading and operational performance for the current year to date. 2. Connection to Corporate Improvement Objectives / Other Corporate Priorities. 2.1 None 3. Background 3.1 The Joint Supplies Service (JSS) provides a one stop purchasing facility for each of the partnering Authorities, through delivery via stores and a direct sourcing function for items of common and repetitive spend. It demonstrates savings to corporate customers and schools through economies of scale, which can be used in service delivery. 3.2 The Joint Committee has previously agreed the practice of the holiday break closure of the JSS during the Christmas and New Year period. The practice was introduced several years ago in response to the increased tendency of Service customers (staff) to extend the statutory public holiday period, the school term and supplier closures over the same period, culminating in the virtual absence of any service requirement of the JSS 3.3 The Joint Committee approved the revenue budget for 2011/12 of £1.27m (offset income of £1.27m) and as part of the Service management framework, budget projections are reviewed regularly and reported to Committee. 4.0 Current Position 4.1 Summary Financial Position at 31 st August 2011 4.1.1 A summary of revenue budget expenditure/income for the first five months of the financial year and projected outturn for 2011/12 is provided in the table below: 1 Table 1- Comparison of budget against projected spend at 31st August 2011.
