Now, after two years, we who live in it want to invite more people to be a part of the activities of the social centre, and call-out for help to go forward with events, gigs, info-nights, film showings and more, which will benefit people in East Cardiff and beyond, and provide a lasting injection of ideas of radical social change in an area where poverty is creating destitution and government cuts are biting further.

To further our aims we will have monthly meetings, work-days, and as much as we can possibly fit into this space.

We hope to see you at the first of these meetings, tonight, at 7pm, and please check the Calendar for more events already organised for this month as we welcome the coming of the spring!

Love, peas, rage, and don’t forget Squeebs!

Happy two and a half years (nearly!) x

We've been through a lot in the last 2 years, 3 months, but Adamsdown's Social Centre is still running, and we welcome new people getting involved: PLEASE COME ALONG if you have any ideas for the space or would like to use the space to run an event of your own...Revolution-ReLOVEutionThere haven’t been many people showing up to the social centre meetings, so we’ve decided to hold more promoted ones once a month. They will be on the first Tuesday of every month. Therefore the next general meeting will be on Tuesday 4th March at 7pm. And around this time we plan to hold a workshop to get another step forward in renewable energy generation - with the making of our very own pedal powered generator! So we can then always keep the juice in the batteries! :-D We are also starting weekly cleaning and maintenance sessions, hoping to improve the condition of the building itself and make it more suitable and inviting as a venue. If you want to help out or get to know the crew, come along on Saturday between 12noon and 4pm. It is also possible to contact the crew by emailing us on the usual email address - redandblackumbrella[at]riseup.net - or through the Cardiff Squatters Network phone on 07596 821 368 – we'll be checking these regularly and ideas suggested can be raised by someone on your behalf at the next meeting if you can’t make it yourself. bouazizi_1 Meetings, as ever, at the Red and Black Umbrella, 57-58 Clifton Street, Cardiff CF24 1LS – hope to see you there.
