GPG's Climate Change Public Discussion:

Concerned about climate change? How can we as individuals, schools, communities or businesses make a difference locally? Join us for this event and have YOUR say. Thursday 30 January 2020 at 7 pm. GPG, Penarth's community environmental group is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2020. We want to focus on the next 10 years and we need ideas and support from local people. During the evening we will hear how other communities are approaching concerns about climate change, but, above all, we want to hear from you and turn concerns into action! Everyone welcome – come and join the discussion.

Multimedia Visual Art Exhibition at Llandough Hospital:

7 am - 8 pm. So when our mental health fails us does the answer lie in the physical body, the disembodied mind or somewhere in-between? And to whom should we look to for explanation?

Buds and Blooms at Morel Court Care Home:

Come along and join the fun with our winter wonderland themed sessions for January. Activities will include sensory play, singing, signing, stories, craft, imaginative play, parachute games, instruments, free play, puppets and lots of topic related props. There are lots of new resources to explore and experiment with as a result of our grant from The National Lottery Fund.

Sessions cost £2.50 for the first child and £1.25 for each additional sibling or the equivalent of £2 a session for the first child and £1.00 for each additional sibling if paid for in a block of a full month at a time. Sessions need to be booked and paid for in advance as places are limited due to the nature of the sessions. New members always welcome.

Carers Panel at the Community Hub on Stanwell Road:

TODAY'S SHOWINGS AT PENARTH'S SNOWCAT CINEMA:

Drive Me Home: Dir. Simone Catania | 2019 | 94 mins | Italy | Italian (subtitled) | Cert TBC

We're excited to be able to bring you an encore screening of the winner of the prize for Best Director at the 2019 Italian Film Festival Cardiff. This is a rare chance to catch a fantastic piece of contemporary Italian cinema on the big screen - starring Marco D'Amore (Gomorrah) and Vinicio Marchioni (Romanzo Criminale). We'll be joined by the director, Simone Catania for a Q&A after the film. Hosted by the Italian Cultural Centre Wales. Antonio and Agostino grew up together in a small town in Sicily; they dreamt of living a different life, somewhere else. Now thirty-year-olds, they both live abroad but they lost touch years ago. When Antonio discovers that the house he grew up in, which had been empty for a long time, is about to be sold at auction, he decides to leave and reconnects with his childhood friend. But their lives have changed a lot. Old conflicts and new revelations bring them through Europe on a truck journey.
