Caerphilly County Borough Council
Councillor representing Morgan Jones Ward.
Youth Champion.

Ystrad Mynach College.
St Ilans Comprehensive.

Everybody calls me Mikey and you are all welcome to do so as well. I am married to Lisa who is so supportive in everything that I do and we have a brill 6 year old son who to be honest is my best mate and brill company and it’s only work and council meetings that we do not do together.

I work full time as a Sales Engineer and I am also a Councillor for the Morgan Jones Ward in Caerphilly, that’s where the Big Cheese is held every year and of course Caerphilly Castle is in my ward. I am also on the Governing Body of 2 Schools and I love my life at present one thing that you will get from me to be happy and keep on smiling.

I would like to start by saying I was young once and at heart still am. I am determined to put my true to life experiences and help back to all youth in Caerphilly in what I feel is an under served sector!!

All I would like to introduce is a non political youth cabinet of say 15 from all areas of the county borough, give them a budget to start and a business plan and then with that let you run it under the advice from the main council. You can fight for your country at 16 so why not run it!!!!!!!

There are loads that we can try to achieve but it won’t happen over night.

There has been a great deal of funding becoming available recently so I feel with my contacts I could get some sponsorships for projects which will then help us to create more projects. It won’t be easy and a lot of hard work will be needed but if you don’t have a goal in life you won’t get anywhere.

If you have any questions for me, any suggestions for improvements in the services available to you in your area or you just want to have a chat, drop me an email on youthchampion@caerphilly.gov.uk. As your Youth Champion I am here to help.
