Edition of Grange Community News, published in February 1994, featuring an article by Clydach Street Day Centre which mentions that day centre staff have developed close links with many local voluntary groups, including Grangetown Community Concern who are also based at the centre. They have jointly developed a local meals in the home service (known as ‘meals on legs’), whereby meals prepared in the centre are “delivered by Community Concern volunteers. This service is provided for a limited period to those who have recently been discharged from hospital, or who have other problems which prevent them from preparing a meal.”

Grange Community News is a community newspaper produced by Grangetown Community Concern. Grangetown Community Concern is a voluntary group, partly funded by Cardiff Council but almost entirely run by volunteers. It was established in 1977 and is a registered charity. The group was set up as an umbrella group for other voluntary organisations with its aims and objectives to provide and encourage services for all age groups, with a particular focus on older people.

The group organises the week-long Grangetown Festival in June. It also organised lunches and trips for older people, and produced a quarterly local newspaper. The organisation has awarded community cups to children from local primary schools who have shown community spirit and has also been responsible for arranging an annual carol service.

The group was renamed Grangetown Community Action in 2014.
