Maria Mesa

Trustee

My personal and professional life has been driven by my passion, commitment and belief in social justice and equality. My motivation to join C3SC as a board member is to play a role and be part of an organisation that can make a real difference to local communities.

Stuart Cox

Treasurer

I grew up in Swansea and moved with work to Maidenhead for 17 years before settling in Cardiff in 2013. I am a Chartered Accountant having trained in London, later joining a FTSE250 company at their manufacturing site in Swansea before moving to their Head Office and undertaking various roles around the world. In 2015, I became a Trustee of ACE Cardiff and helped stabilise the finances there. With C3SC’s wider role in the third sector, I hope to indirectly help many more local charities.

Chris Kizza

Trustee

I am a founding member of the Ugandans in Wales community group. It is through this charitable work that I learned about Cardiff Third Sector Council. I was impressed by C3SC’s work in the community where I live, and I felt motivated to join the Board of Trustees.

Callum Stubbs

Trustee

Having been involved in the charity sector, either as a volunteer or professionally, for over 18 years, I am keen to support the voluntary and community sector in my new home in Cardiff.

Abbas Radaideh

Trustee

Since starting volunteering in 2017, I have been following C3SC’s updates. I first became an individual member with C3SC , before volunteering with them in addition to my volunteer work with over 10 organisations across Cardiff. I feel extremely happy when I give my time to support community groups and individuals. My happiness increased when I became a trustee of the C3SC Board. I am looking forward to achieving the aim, vision and goals of C3SC.

Rosemary Matthews

Trustee

I have had a long association with the voluntary sector and served on the former County Voluntary Council called Intervol during the 80’s. I am passionate about the voluntary work that happens in our city and want to be part of the team that provides support to the voluntary organisations, who enrich the lives of people, in all of our communities.

Nirushan Sudarsan

Trustee

I am currently a PhD student at Cardiff University. I hold an undergraduate degree in Law and Politics and a master’s in Politics and Public Policy from Cardiff University. I have worked in Victim Support, Ofgem and Tenovus Cancer Care. I have always been motivated to make change within communities, as I understand from my own lived experience the strength of unity, kindness, and the support people can offer. I want to make a difference, which is why I am interested in joining the Cardiff Third Sector Council as a Trustee.
