In this episode I am joined by Dave Horton from Action in Caerau and Ely (ACE) and Ceri Cunnington from Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog to discuss how their contrasting geography shapes approaches to community development…or not.
Caerau and Ely are large post- and inter-war housing estates in the west of Cardiff. Blaenau Ffestiniog and its surrounding ‘bro’ are more rural in comparison, where Welsh is the community’s first language, but with its own industrial heritage.
ACE is a development trust which can be followed:
