Penarth Civic Society
Cymdeithas Ddinesig Penarth
formerly The Penarth Society
Working with the PCS
The Penarth Civic Society is a collective organisation, responsible for a number of sub-groups, as well as working alongside and in collaboration with other groups, organisations, charities, councils and more in and around the town of Penarth.
Forming New Groups
Would you like to establish a group of Volunteers to enhance The Community in Penarth, or make an existing one a sub-group?
​
All of the activities that The Society are involved in came from a member who wanted to improve something about our town. We would very much like to encourage more people to come forward with suggestions for projects which would deliver such improvements.
​
The Society has over 30 years’ experience in campaigning and organising volunteer programmes and we are determined to pass this experience on to assist like-minded people to create new schemes which we see as in alignment with the principles and aspirations of the Society.
We have a Support Package that is available to any group that the Society adopts.
​
Principal features are:
-
A Grant of £100 to book a Hall and promote an Open Event for the community to launch the scheme and call for volunteers.
-
The benefit of the umbrella support of the Society as a Charitiable Incorporated Organisation to assist with applications for financial support and grant packages.
-
Insurance cover for all volunteers and attendees at any events organised.
-
A web page on our website to publicise the group.
-
Support in the form of articles in the regular Society Newsletters to publicise the scheme.
-
Access to a wide variety of other individuals and groups who are involved with The Society to help & support the establishment, and the running of projects, including IT, horticulture, accounts and applying for grants.
-
Assistance with establishing and running a Facebook page and other social media.
-
The chance to input into the wider community activities & projects of Penarth that we cover to help shape and progress them.

We are a community oriented organisation and recognise the need for involvement and action on a wider scale than we can manage. There are also projects and schemes that may wish to interact with Penarth and need some way to help get them established and run.
