In 2014, residents of Grangetown created a shared vision. We aspired to a friendlier Grangetown, with increased understanding between communities where everyone was united by a space for all. A plan was formed: to redevelop the 1962 Grange Bowls Pavilion and Green into a dynamic and multi-functional building and grounds, offering affordable space-for-hire, a community-focused café offering employment and training opportunities to local people, and much-needed public amenities in a popular park.

The redevelopment of Grange Pavilion will enable residents of Grangetown to plan and run community activities for free, to tackle social isolation and increase wellbeing and to deliver a stunning building lead by the community for the community. Through developing a facility that's open and accessible to all communities which improves the physical environment in Grangetown and provides amenities in the park, we envisage fewer instances of anti-social behaviour and an increase in neighbourliness.

By increasing the size of the existing Grange Pavilion and increasing the programme of activities, we aim to achieve the following: 300 residents feel they have increased skills and qualifications - 1,000 residents feel they have made healthier choices or that their wellbeing has improved - 1,000 residents feel more connected to their community or less isolated - 500 young people from Grangetown have accessed activities at the building - 50 new volunteers will engage in community-led activities.
