Description

Letter stating that the Art, Painting for Pleasure class of Grangetown Art Group used the upstairs room at Clydach Street Day Centre on Monday mornings from 10.00am to midday from 30 June until 8 September 2003 “for the purposes of painting and drawing”. The letter states “the undersigned Indemnify and hold free both Grangetown Community Concern and City and County of Cardiff against any accidents or injuries caused to any of our members whilst we are on the said premises during the above dates." The letter has eleven signatures.

The minutes of Grangetown Community Concern Executive Committee for 10 June 2002 (also in Glamorgan Archives in D1070/108) recorded: "the Art Class had asked if they could use the upstairs room, D J Jones, Day Centre Manager, had asked re insurance. From the committee present there was no objections to them using the room as long as there was one person willing to take the responsibility of the class as they would no longer be under the auspices of the education dept. It was ultimately up to D J Jones".

Grangetown Community Concern were based at Clydach Street from 1985 to 2003 and let local groups use the rooms.

Grangetown Community Concern is a voluntary group, partly funded by Cardiff Council but almost entirely run by volunteers. It was established in 1977 and is a registered charity. The group was set up as an umbrella group for other voluntary organisations with its aims and objectives to provide and encourage services for all age groups, with a particular focus on older people.

The group organises the week-long Grangetown Festival in June. It also organised lunches and trips for older people, and produced a quarterly local newspaper. The organisation has awarded community cups to children from local primary schools who have shown community spirit and has also been responsible for arranging an annual carol service.

The group was renamed Grangetown Community Action in 2014.
