    Jocelyn Davies, Chair

    During my time as an Assembly Member I built up a strong relationship with Care & Repair Cymru. Whilst Minister for Housing, the organisation was one that I found I could rely on to deliver Government priorities. I feel I can advocate for, and advise the organisation. Since retirement from frontline politics I have time to devote to the role of Board Membership. × Close
