“There are many wider determinants that impact on a person’s health, from the quality of their housing to whether they can gain meaningful employment. I strongly believe that everyone, no matter what their background, should have equal opportunities to live longer, in good health, and I look forward to working with the NHS and its system partners to achieve that goal.”
Llewellyn has more than 30 years’ experience in the voluntary, social housing and not-for-profit sectors. He began his career as a social worker, gained his MBA locally at the University of Wolverhampton, and is now Chief Executive Officer of Nehemiah United Churches Housing Association. He is also senior pastor and area bishop for the Church of God of Prophecy.
Llewellyn has been an active champion for multicultural communities throughout his working life, establishing the Wolverhampton African Caribbean Development Agency in 1986, and since then holding board positions at a range of organisations, from the international to the hyper-local, including Raffa International Development Agency and housing associations Midland Heart and Sanctuary. Underpinning all his leadership positions has been a commitment to social justice and championing those who are marginalised.
