C3SC Staff

The C3SC Team

Senior Management Team

The Chief Officer post is currently vacant

Emily Forbes - Senior Officer: Compact & Training 

I have worked in the public and private sectors, and finally found my feet in the third sector. I'm passionate about supporting the sector to ensure we influence policy, planning and service delivery, knowing that we can make a real difference to people's lives. I have a keen interest in the co-delivery of public services, joint commissioning, consortium and collaboration.

Jeremy Rees - Senior Officer: Diversity & Safeguarding

I have worked in the community and voluntary sector in Wales and England since 1981, and joined VAC in 2008. My role includes being the 'link' between C3SC and specialist organisations working in the field of diversity in Cardiff, including joint working initiatives.

 Third Sector Officers 

Caroline Hardy - Third Sector Officer: Cardiff East

Before I worked at C3SC I worked for a local credit union, which offered financial services to everyone and advice to small third sector organisations. I've volunteered with two third sector organisations (both local and regional) for around ten years. 

Katie Mallam - Third Sector Officer: City & Cardiff South

I worked in the public sector before joining C3SC. I was with Cardiff Council for three years, in Social Services, and then Community Safety. Prior to that I'd been involved in third sector community safety provision, based in Cardiff Central Police Station. 

Kevin Rahmen-Daultrey - Third Sector Officer: Cardiff North

Before I worked at C3SC I was a Communities First Development worker in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot for four years, and before that I volunteered with the Citizens' Advice Bureau for two years.

Leoni Oxenham - Third Sector Officer: Cardiff West

Before I worked here I covered Wales for an organisation working with single parent families across England and Wales. I have 15+ years experience working with children, young people and families and 10+ years experience in Cardiff’s third sector. I've worked in Cardiff’s public and private sector, enabling partnership working, influencing strategic direction and pushing forward children, young people and families' issues.

I am currently undertaking a postgraduate qualification in Youth & Community Work.

 Peter Griffiths - Third Sector Officer: Cardiff South West

In the past I worked in the Communities First programme in Aberystwyth as a youth and community development worker. I have a lot of experience in engaging young people and successfully drawing down funding.

Thoria Mohamed - Third Sector Officer: Cardiff South East

I have worked in the third sector for over a decade and a half with some of society's vulnerable groups, including victims of domestic violence, ethnic minorities, children with disabilities, refugees and asylum seekers. 

Finance and Funding

Howard Dobson - Grants Officer

My background is in local government and smoking cessation, and I have been involved with voluntary organisations all my life. I have worked for VAC since September 2006 and, in my new role, I am involved with running the Impact Plus Grant scheme and advising on grant and funding matters.

Janice Hill - Finance Officer

I am the Finance Officer and I work part time, three days a week. I'm a chartered accountant with fifteen years' experience in this field, and trained with KPMG. I have previously worked for Positif Politics Ltd, Julian Hodge Bank and the Sherman Theatre. I am looking forward to joining the rest of the team. 

  Communities First

Adam Rees - Communities First Officer

My role is Communities First Officer, working with the third sector officers to ensure we continue to provide excellent services in our Communities First areas of Grangetown, Plasnewydd and Rumney. I have worked across public, private and third sectors: as Public Affairs Manager for the National Union of Students and, before that, running a democratic engagement project for the National Assembly for Wales.

Administration Team

Carol Norman - Office Manager

I started working as PA to the Chief Officer in December 2010, having worked in the voluntary sector for over 10 years. I'm enjoying being part of an organisation that equips the huge variety of third sector organisations in Cardiff to do the great work that they do. 

Rowena Shaw - Information Officer

I started as Information Officer at Cardiff Third Sector Council at the beginning of October. My role includes working on 'Maniffesto,' e-bulletins and updating the website. It is interesting to hear how third sector groups are making a difference in the lives of people in their communities.

Anne McDonough - Administrator

I have been working here for over three years, and the staff and the people I've met have made it an interesting and uplifting experience. In April I was appointed as one of the information assistants, which involves signposting groups and individuals to where they can receive the support and information they need. I also process training bookings and membership applications.

Kirsty Evans - Administrator

I joined the organisation in 2008. It was my first intrepid step into the voluntary sector after working in the Civil Service for five years, and I've never looked back!
