Hey everyone,
On Wednesday, the 16th of December we have an important meeting- following last month’s discussion of the priorities, we’re now ready to formulate action plans and start working towards our goals- positive change in Cardiff under these categories;
- Living Wage
- Curriculum For Life
- Tackling Racial and Religious Discrimination
- Mental Health
- Transport
You can read more about them below, and feel free to ask any questions you have on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or by emailing me on maegandaviesjohn@outlook.com
This month we also have a really important opportunity to shape the new mental health service in Cardiff!
Hopefully we’ll see lots of you there, and remember new members are always welcome 🙂
Thanks,
Mae and CYC
Living Wage
- Raise the profile of the positive impact that the Living Wage has on communities and encourage companies in Cardiff to sign up to be an accredited Living Wage employer.
- Ensure that companies meet the Living Wage Foundation criteria fully.

Curriculum 4 Life
- Schools should provide a broad curriculum which recognises the importance of life skills and these should be delivered within the mainstream subjects where possible to enhance the current curriculum.
- There should be a consistent approach to delivering a high quality PSE curriculum in schools across Cardiff

- Increase educational opportunities for children and young people with the aim to sustainably reduce incidents of racist and religious discrimination.
- Enhance ethnic and religious cohesion by challenging stereotypes and celebrating multiculturalism
