"A stubborn voice demanding to be heard.
The voice of Cardiff Central"
Croeso
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you find it informative and accessible and are able to learn a little about me and why I believe I can make a contribution to British politics and represent the people of Cardiff Central at Westminster.

Project Umubano 2009
I have recently returned from Project Umubano 2009, a social action project in Rwanda organised by the Conservative Party, with which I was first involved in 2008.
The project video 2008 can be accessed below and you can view photos from 2009 in the Gallery
Some 3 years ago after having worked in the public sector and with a variety of community based organisations, I decided to enter the political fray, using the maxim, ‘if you want a job doing properly, do it yourself!’ Too often bureaucracy and maddening decisions were having a direct impact on the work I do with disadvantaged people and I believe that I can’t sit back and let other people wreck the country I love. The recent expenses scandal has only strengthened my resolve. We need to restore public confidence in politicians and politics and deliver for Britain.
So, here I am! Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Cardiff Central! In 2007 I stood in the Welsh Assembly Elections contesting Cardiff South and Penarth and in 2008 I was involved in the Conservative European candidate selection process. You can find out more about both campaigns by following the links. On August 10th 2009 I was adopted as the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the city that’s been my home for 10 years. Between now and the General Election my aim is to get out and meet as many of you as possible and hear your views on how we can make Cardiff a better place to live and work. The next election gives us the choice of fresh ideas or old Labour thinking. For too long your voices have been translated into warm Liberal Democrat words, in their full knowledge that they have no decision making power. The next General Election is your chance to influence the direction of British politics and send the voice of everyone in Cardiff Central to Westminster loud and clear!
My passion is speaking up for those who don’t have a voice. For many years I’ve worked with community and voluntary groups, in particular those working with disabled people. For the second year running my interest in voluntary work and making a difference has taken me to Rwanda on Project Umubano with another 100+ Conservative volunteers. Check out the video link opposite to see what can be achieved when the message of Conservative social action goes into action! Actions speak louder than words and that is the message I bring to Cardiff Central! The time for warm words and gesture politics is over. Cardiff deserves action. Cardiff deserves change!
You can follow my campaign to bring change to our communities through this website which will be updated regularly.
