About Us

At Sketty Online, we believe the heart of a strong community lies in sharing knowledge, stories, and support. Our mission is simple: to bring the people of Sketty closer together by offering one easy place to find the latest local news, events, services, and resources.

We know life gets busy, but staying connected to what’s happening in your neighbourhood shouldn’t be difficult. That’s why we’ve made Sketty Online a friendly, accessible hub where you can keep up to date without trawling through multiple sources. Whether you’re looking for upcoming events, updates on community projects, or information about local services, it’s all here in one place.

From Outreach to Online

Sketty Online grew out of the extraordinary spirit shown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Back then, our community came together to support isolated and vulnerable residents through the Sketty Community Outreach Group. We delivered food, collected prescriptions, and, most importantly, offered friendship to those who felt alone. Over 160 volunteers stepped forward, and together we created a lifeline that reached far beyond the crisis.

With the help of Swansea Council’s Local Area Coordinator Tara Hughes and Ben Thompson, we even developed a volunteer mapping system to match helpers with nearby residents, saving time and building lasting relationships. Each delivery was more than groceries or medicine; it was a reminder that someone cared.

Building a Stronger Sketty

Today, Sketty Online continues that legacy of connection and compassion. By gathering all our local information in one place, we aim to keep the bonds formed during those challenging times alive, helping neighbours look out for each other and making it easier for everyone to get involved.

Because when we share knowledge, we share strength. And together, we make Sketty not just a place to live, but a community to belong to.
