Brendan Roberts, a dedicated community councillor in Torfaen, has worked in the civil service, local government and the third sector. His career and activism give him a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Welsh communities.

At the Welsh Government’s 2022 'Radical reform summit', he drew on his personal experience in the child social care system to help shape a declaration advancing Wales’ landmark laws protecting children and young adults from mistreatment and violence.

Brenden is second on the list for the Welsh Liberal Democrats as their candidate in the constituency of Sir Fynwy Torfaen. He is championing progressive change and empowering people in Wales.
