Our Ambassadors
Our Charity Ambassadors play a vital role in our work. They help us reach more people and make a meaningful difference. Our Ambassadors help us spread hope and support for the important causes throughout Swansea Bay and beyond.
We are always seeking new Charity Ambassadors to spread our message and help us make a difference. The health board covers many areas; mental health, learning disabilities, children, elderly, renal, the list goes on! Are you interested? Contact us today: [email protected]
Kev Johns MBE
One of Swansea’s most beloved entertainers, broadcasters, and matchday announcer for the Swans, Kev Johns MBE is a proud Charity Ambassador for Swansea Bay Health Charity. After experiencing cancer first-hand and making a full recovery, Kev is passionate about giving back and going the extra mile.
Having received life-saving treatment at Singleton Hospital’s South West Wales Cancer Centre, Kev supports our Going the Extra Mile for Cancer appeal, which aims to raise £200,000 for the very centre that helped him heal.
Mal Pope
Musician and matchday lounge host Mal Pope became a Charity Ambassador for Cwtsh Clos after the heartbreaking loss of his grandson, Gulliver.
With personal experience of NICU, Mal is dedicated to helping us raise our fundraising goal of £160,000 to renovate Singleton’s NICU accommodations, creating five “homes away from home” for families of sick and tiny babies. His mission is fuelled by gratitude for the care his family received during their most challenging times.
Joel Oates
TikTok creator Joel Oates, who has more than 80,000 followers, and his mum Clare have joined Swansea Bay Health Charity as ambassadors for the Cwtsh Natur appeal.
Having benefitted from services at the Children’s Centre in Port Talbot, they are passionate about raising awareness and funds for a much-needed sensory garden.
Ken Goddard
Known as the “Mad Welshman”, Ken is determined to honour his father who sadly passed away from cancer. He has taken on incredible challenges, from open-water swimming to Iron Man Wales and Jiffy’s Cancer 50 Challenge. Ken’s motivation comes from knowing that his efforts help fund the South West Wales Cancer Centre, ensuring patients receive the best possible care.
The Mad Welshman takes on daring challenges to raise awareness and funds, and inspire others to support the cause in any way they can. His efforts to raise vital funds for the SWWCC show an unyielding commitment to making a real difference in the lives of cancer patients in Wales.
Ailish McGrail
We’re lucky enough to have an Swansea Bay University Health Board staff member who continuously goes the extra mile for cancer services in Singleton Hospital. Not only does Ailish work incredibly hard as a Radiographer, but she is an avid fundraiser for the Going the Extra Mile for Cancer Appeal, supporting the refurbishment of the South West Wales Cancer Centre at Singleton Hospital.
Ailish has proudly raised over £6,500 for Swansea Bay University Health Board cancer services over the past 3 years, hosting bake sales, volunteering at events and most recently, hosting her own Family Fun Day and Charity Night.
