Community Gateway is a flagship Cardiff University engagement project committed to building a long-term partnership with Grangetown residents and businesses, creating pathways between the University and community and facilitating the co-production of projects for mutual benefit.
Community Gateway has supported over 60 community-university projects making connections between University staff, students and Grangetown residents to help bring community-led ideas to life, including the award-winning Grangetown Youth Forum, a Grangetown Business Forum which led to the launch of Grangetown’s first World Street Market, the Grangetown Safe Play Lanes pilot in partnership with Cardiff Council, a Pharmabees Citizen Science programme, the Run Grangetown social running group, an annual mental health day event, Grangetown Safety Week and the much anticipated annual Career and Role Models week.
In 2019, Cardiff University became asset guardian of Grange Pavilion, helping the community raise over £2m to build a high quality, accessible resident-led facility in Grange Gardens which provides affordable space for hire, a community-focused café, coworking spaces and a biodiverse garden and green for play, health and wellbeing and seasonal growing.
Community gateway’s long-term strategy is to foster place-based partnerships and to connect and focus our diverse expertise in research, teaching and professional development by co-productively identifying new and sustained opportunities for long term anchor partnerships, locally and internationally, with government, industry, and communities. Community gateway is passionate about understanding, connecting, and promoting individual and collective skills, interests, and ambitions.
