Civic mission sub-strategy

Our ambition is to continue to be recognised for excellence in our civic mission activities, committed to working with stakeholders across the Cardiff Capital Region, Wales and beyond.

Our areas of priority will be to promote social cohesion, equip communities with the right skills and lead a green recovery as the nation rescues, revives and renews after COVID-19.

We have identified three areas of focus for the next phase of our civic mission, each of which align with the priorities shared by our key stakeholders:

catalysing Wales’ green recovery
building Wales’ skills for the future
embracing community engagement.

In August 2020, The Way Forward 2018 - 2023: Recast COVID-19 was updated to reflect the significant impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) and the likely changes it would have on our strategic priorities and how we deliver them. Our civic mission sub-strategy has also been refreshed to focus on how we can help Wales recover and rebuild following the pandemic.

We will continue build on our successes and by taking a broad interpretation of civic mission as embodying the ways in which we help to boost the health, wealth and wellbeing of Cardiff, Wales and the wider world. This includes embracing our role to promote environmental sustainability and diversity.
