What is Communities First?

Communities First is a Welsh Government flagship Community Regeneration programme. It was set up to enable residents in the identified Communities First areas to recognise and prioritise key issues in their community. The aim then is for them to work together to decide what is needed and become part of the process of assisting to make change happen. Communities First aims to be “resident led”.

 

The Vale of Glamorgan has benefited from Communities First since 2001. Communities First has been operating in Thompson Street, Castleland and Gibbonsdown since 2001. This was expanded in 2008 to include the Court ward and the entire Casteland ward.

 

There are two Communities First Partnership Boards:

  • Castleland
  • Gibbonsdown and Court.

Visit the Communities First websites for more information on the latest activities, events and news stories.
