What We Do

Gwyrddio Penarth Greening (GPG) is a group of local volunteers working towards improving the environment and building a sustainable community in Penarth.

GPG has developed lots of projects over the last 10 years including Shop Penarth, Plastic Free Penarth, Access Penarth, and more recently Benthyg Penarth and Penarth Growing Community. GPG has planted an orchard in Cosmeston and at the Kymin and organised lots of local events promoting sustainability.

In 2020 we wanted to engage with more people in the local community to develop local solutions to our environmental & climate challenges. At Penarth 2020 we agreed on some new priorities to take forward.

Our Priorities for 2020

Following a successful Penarth 2020 event, with almost 100 members of the community attending, we want to focus on 5 new projects. Please get in touch if you would like to get involved!

These projects are:

1. A Green Directory for Penarth

2. A Library of Things

3. Community renewable energy

4. Community planting & growing

5. A book swap scheme
