Para 1.17 | To advance the education of the public in the history and heritage of Wales, in particular in the social, cultural and economic history of Cardif docklands and the surrounding area in particular but not exclusively by providing an educational resource of historical material on the history and heritage of the area and creating opportunities for people to learn about the history and heritage of the area. |

Progress continues in the sorting and recording i.e. cataloguing of the collection. The online archive has proved successful with the public. Indexing to the Glamorgan Archive data base continues at a slow pace. Whilst almost all of the collection has been digitised we continue to receive new contributions from the public,which needsto be digitised |
and as we catalogue we unearth material that also needs to be digitised. Currently a focus on the oral history tapes, summarising and using, has shown the poor quality of sound on some of them. Methods to improve the sound and allow fuller public access are being sought. In fulfilling its duties to meet the public benefit we have developed productive partnerships. With Glamorgan Archives, Cardiff University school of journalism, and Cardiff Museum. We have recently developed a working partnership with the Royal British Legion and DARPL [Diversity and Anti Racist Professional Learning} an initiative from the Welsh government. We have conducted a series of visits to schools where we have presented information on the history of Tiger Bay and had productive discussions with the pupils and teachers. HCE were invited to the 25[th] anniversary celebrations of devolution held at the Senedd. We hosted a delegation from Birmingham, Alabama, USA. Conducted a “walk & talk” learning experience with a group of educationalists from New Zealand. Hosted a conference Black History from Local Perspectives where delegates came from across the UK. Used our archival material to give historical background to a Jazz festival held at the Wales Millennium Centre.
| Statement confrming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public beneft |
