The Cardiff Debate
The Cardiff Debate is a three year programme of engagement which aims to provide an ongoing conversation with Cardiff’s citizens, communities, partners and employees to help to shape the future design and delivery of public services. The public and third sectors are facing significant pressures both in terms of reduced budgets and growing demand for services. The Cardiff Debate aims get people to work together and find solutions in innovative ways.
Events will be hosted in various local areas to discuss priorities for the city and concerns within different communities in the Cardiff area. Conversations are also encouraged to happen online via social media. They can be contacted via Twitter @CardiffDebate or by using the hashtag #CardiffDebate. As part of the Cardiff Debate a number of ‘drop in’ workshops are being hosted across the city, alongside informal on-street engagement. Participants will be given the opportunity to discuss which services they use and ideas on how they may be delivered differently in future.

Unite Against Fascism Event
On Tuesday 9th September Unite Against Fascism invites supporters in Wales to their Cardiff event with UAF's joint secretary Weyman Bennett hosting the meeting.
Unite Against Fascism are calling for the broadest unity against the alarming rise in racism and fascism in Britain today as over the last decade, racism and Islamophobia in society have grown. As a result, there has been an increase in racist violence and attacks on multiculturalism. This has also culminated in the rise of far right and fascist organisations.
Weyman Bennett will be speaking about the fight against fascism as well as standing up to UKIP and preparing for the general election.
The event takes place on Tuesday 9th September 7.30 pm at Suite 1, Unite Building on Cathedral Road, Cardiff.
