A community activist from Barry Island has been getting worldwide attention.
Andy Green, originally from East London, recently appeared at the inaugural South by Southwest (SxSW) conference to talk about his work preserving Cockney culture.
He's been looking to secure protected food status for the traditional meal of pie and mash as part of a greater effort to build community cohesion and a sense of togetherness.
His work has caught the attention of the New York Times and the BBC Radio 4 show 'Word of Mouth', presented by poet Michael Rosen.
Closer to home, Andy recently completed a project with Cardiff Council to create a 'pocket museum' telling 'The Story of Splott in 50 Objects'.
Andy, who lives with his Cadoxton-born wife Judith - in what he calls a 'real life Gavin and Stacey' - said: "Globally, communities face major challenges with growing social division and polarisation."
"We’re hopefully getting our message across about how we need innovative ways for local people to engage and be more supportive of each other, such as with shared culture, heritage, and interests."
In his adopted hometown, Andy is heavily involved as a board member of the Barry War Museum and Heritage Centre and plays walking football at Barry Town United.
He is also a director of the social enterprise Grow Social Social, which works alongside the Jo Cox Foundation's More in Common network, with an expertise in community engagement.
