A big thank you to all who attended our Annual Showcase event tonight. Having the opportunity to hear from representatives from our Board, Savills & Cardiff Council provided attendees with a unique insight into the city, interesting debate & highlighted some of our big successes

Our pick 👇 #InvisibleWomen #WorldBookDay "Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap."

Thank you to Locus for the panel invite for 'International Comparisons & Emerging Trends'. Fascinating to hear about Voortrekker Rd CIDs 90% occupancy rate & majority spend on safety resulting more cameras & response vehicles than their local Police force, big contrast UK BIDs.

The FOR Cardiff team smashing our debut pub quiz night at the Pen and Wig with second place, if they'd listened to me it would've been CONSIDERABLY worse 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Such positive news that spiking is being taken seriously, meaning victim shaming will be reduced & place blame were it belongs, at the perpetrator. We still need more education, training to venues, adapting the narrative & empowering people to report & make that process simple

Great morning Welsh Government roundtable focusing on skills, productivity & investment. I advocated for a place focused approach by understanding place, identity & local economies we can target what is requirement for investment which will result in boosted productivity & growth

I'm delighted to be working with Ask For Angela to help champion the scheme and share its good work, particularly over Wales. If there's any Welsh locations we can help support with Welsh language assets etc just let me know.

Cardiff is a small city which punches above its weight with events but these stats from the DEPOT are truly amazing. 170k people with 48% coming from outside of Wales provides a huge economic impact & supports grassroots venues. Congrats to the whole team

An important message from this briefing from South Wales Police is that they have not advised any businesses to close or to consider closing but if anyone has any concerns to approach an officer or call 999. We will continue to share any briefings if/when they happen.

Interesting column from fellow Welsh BID professional @KevinWardMedia about Newport's need to focus on fostering innovation and supporting new and existing businesses to create a sustainable city centre. businessnewswales.com/newports-econo…

I am doing some bench marking work against other UK cities and we want to know what one word you'd use to describe Cardiff? Results wont be shared publicly and responses anonymous so please feel free to be honest 😊 @FOR_Cardiff forms.office.com/e/jMzh475mVY

The South Wales Metro will be transformational for the region but Cardiff needs to enjoy the same increase in Metro service frequency as the Valleys to progress inclusive economic growth across the city & region and we support the push for committed funding for this phase ASAP

Today's perceived drop in domestic abuse crimes reflects fewer crimes recorded, not fewer crimes happening. This follows police being instructed to count fewer DA crimes. That's why this data doesn't reflect the prevalence of DA, nor the number of DA crimes reported to police.

I'm thrilled that Cardiff has retained its ATCM Purple Flag status, this continued recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable night-time economy for all – but also the strength of our partnership work here in the Welsh capital.
