Green Party Candidate Announcement: Rich Williams - Mumbles

Rich Williams is a dedicated community leader, father, and advocate who has called the Mumbles area home for over 15 years. Originally from Yorkshire, Rich has spent more than two decades on the front lines of social and environmental justice, working to ensure no one in our community is left behind.

Experienced, Local and Driven.

Rich doesn't just talk about community, he leads it.

• Professional Leadership: As the current CEO of a Swansea youth work charity, Rich manages complex services that provide a lifeline for our city's young people.

• A Lifetime of Service: With 25 years of experience in the third sector, he has a proven track record of supporting the vulnerable and protecting our local environment.

• Real-Life Perspective: Rich understands the weight of personal struggle. Following the loss of his daughter in 2023, who lived with a profound disability, he is a tireless advocate for carers and families navigating difficult times.

Rich’s Priorities for Mumbles

Rich is standing for election because he knows the "postcard view" of Mumbles doesn't tell the whole story. He is committed to tackling:

• Housing Justice: Fighting for truly affordable and sustainable housing options so local families aren't priced out of their own community.

• Cost of Living: Supporting those struggling with rising bills and the threat of homelessness.

• Reliable Transport: Improving the public transport links that residents rely on for work, school, and connections.

• Support for Carers: Using his lived experience to ensure those who care for others receive the dignity and resources they deserve.

"I believe in the power of a community that works together. We face significant challenges, but by voting Green, we choose a future rooted in hope, sustainability, and genuine care for one another." — Rich Williams
