In Wales we are doing things differently

We have a law in Wales that helps us all work together to improve our environment, our economy, our society and our culture – the Well-being of Future Generations Act.

For these reforms to work, communities need more than funding — they need trust, shared evidence, and relationships that connect local voices with strategic decisions.

The role of Agenda.cymru is to turn data into shared action by aligning evidence, co-producing briefs and delivering innovative projects, to ensure that community insight sits alongside administrative data and evaluation findings.

Everyday Places, Shared Voices in Conwy & Denbighshire

Community

The Co-producing Community Narratives project worked with communities in Pensarn and Bruton Park to explore how people experience place amid social, economic and environmental pressures. Using informal, arts based activities in trusted everyday settings, residents shared stories of hardship alongside pride, belonging and care for local spaces.

In Pensarn, creative sessions at The Hive community hub highlighted the importance of accessible support, connection and dignity, while revealing concerns about deprivation, mental health and transport.

In Bruton Park, observational engagement surfaced worries about environmental neglect, loss of shared spaces and feeling unheard, alongside a strong desire for safe, family-friendly opportunities to connect.

Young People, Big Pride Across North Wales

Children & young people Community

Across North Wales, the Children’s University pilot in 2023 and 2024 created something simple and powerful. It gave children and young people a clear way to take part in extracurricular learning, record what they had achieved, and then celebrate those achievements in a setting that felt special.

The programme worked across different places and different school communities, but it shared the same message everywhere. Learning beyond the classroom matters, and young people deserve to have it recognised.

Hope & Identity: Stories from Flintshire & Wrexham

Community

In Flintshire and Wrexham, the Co-producing Community Narratives project worked with groups whose voices are often underrepresented in traditional engagement: vulnerable young people and migrant communities.

Through creative, trauma-aware practice, participants were supported to express lived experience, concern and hope in ways that felt safe and meaningful to them.
