My name is Steffan Webb. Born and bred in Cardiff, I have lived in Cardiff North for forty years in Rhiwbeina, Whitchurch, Thornhill, St Mellons and Llandaff North. I have four children and two point five grand-daughters. I worked in community development and community education until 2016. I helped develop the Mentrau Iaith, series of Language Initiatives, by working with some and volunteering with others. I do enjoy voluntary work in the community and have worked with County Voluntary Associations, and their small grants systems, to develop new groups. I am a qualified teacher teaching Welsh for Adults and History at Ysgol Gymraeg Glantaf. I am doing a translation course at the University of Aberystwyth and using the skills learnt with a number of charities. I learnt Welsh as an adult. I have led the Welsh Language Society, on a number of levels, and I support the discussions of YesCymru. I stood in the Council election in May which was my first ever election and trebled the vote for Plaid Cymru in Llandaff North. I do want to make a practical difference to the people of North Cardiff and hope to do that through this election. I am available at llaisystumtaf@gmail.com and @plaidystumtaf on Twitter.
