We aim to support the people of Canton, Cardiff in addressing increasing anti-social behaviour, the climate emergency, poor societal wellbeing and increasing isolation, community fragmentation and the sustainability of Canton Uniting Church. Canton is one of the most diverse and densely populated areas of Cardiff, with a vibrant community but also challenges from low income and high levels of deprivation. We want to address that.
After listening to what people wanted on our site, we are creating new spaces for people to meet, relax, learn and reflect, including a new, accessible garden with a small garden room for groups to meet. We are creating a green space where people can grow food, learn about nature, play and connect, and also improving the facilities inside our building to improve our welcome to all our community.
