Enable local people to improve unloved space
Problem
Across Wales less than 25% of people think they can affect decisions made locally.
Simple Change
By providing support to those who want to make their communities a more attractive place to live, including those who live in housing associations, you are helping to bring together local people committed to transforming unloved spaces into areas they are proud of. These projects often develop strong partnerships with community organisations and housing associations and co-designed plans developed with the entire community increases a sense of pride in the place.
Case Study
Who is doing this?
Space Saviours
Space Saviours is an initiative where support and advice are provided to communities who want to make the most of unloved or unused space. It could be anything from creating a children’s playground to creating a nice well-planted area for the community to use.

This video shows how the space saviours project in Clos Dinas Wen, Caerphilly has helped the community create a popular allotment site
