Black Hawk Hancock, Associate Professor of Sociology, DePaul University "in Chicago:

I'd recommend the 'Date With Raymond Williams' tour to anyone looking to better know and understand Raymond Williams. Venturing deep into Williams’s Border Country brought his written page to life in an immersive experience. It's an ideal point of entry into his world"

Blog newydd sy'n edrych yn ôl at ein hamser ym gan feithrin medr mewn podledu a chyfryngau cymdeithasol fel rhan o Creu Cyffro

https://growsocialcapital.org.uk/cyfryngau-cymunedol-ym-merthyr/

On Friday our Andy* will be in Wrexham delivering a workshop at the Wal Goch Festival For Football Lovers on how grassroots clubs can build their fanbase through building their community links and identifying the 'changemakers' in the community.

What better a legacy of the Cymru men's team in its first World Cup since 1958 than by growing the domestic game, but not just in terms of its size and profile but its embeddedness with Welsh communities. This will only ever be achieved via a bottom-up approach based around changemaking techniques.

We can't wait.

*Apologies in advance for all the inevitable West Ham references

Lovely feedback from our recent Monmouthshire Tummler School

Adborth hyfryd ar ôl ein Hysgol Tummler Sir Fynwy ddiweddar

CAVO Ceredigion Dwr Cymru Welsh Water Aberystwyth University

Interesting to read the Wales TSPC Covid Recovery Sub-Group Report.
https://wcva.cymru/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/TSPC-Covid-Recovery-Sub-Group-Report-2.pdf

We welcome many of the policy suggestions. One observation is how the Relationships work stream (there are 3; the others are Volunteering and Support) is an interesting one but seems to concentrate its attention on those *vertical* connections between different institutions and elements of state apparatus. However, the success of some community responses to the pandemic was because of the *horizontal* connections and bonds in communities.

This is not to say that (vertical) 'linking ' is less valuable or effective than (horizontal) 'bridging social capital'. But they perform different functions:

the latter provides a strong base for the latter to pull things together at a more strategic and/or population level.

Think of it a bit like this trellis. It's sturdier for the horizontal components it has.

We're off to !

Tummler School will be taking place each Wednesday evening over the three weeks in June for community activists in the town.

In partnership with Dwr Cymru Welsh Water and supported by CAVO Ceredigion.

Skills and tools for growing your community of changemakers will be available in the sessions. Seed funding on offer to community ideas
