Farrell Perks – Standing Up for a Fairer, Greener Wales

Farrell is proud to stand for Plaid Cymru in the 2026 Senedd Election, determined to deliver the change that communities across Pontypridd, Cynon, Merthyr, and the whole of Wales deserve — better representation, better opportunities, and a government that truly listens.

Born in England but proudly calling Wales his home and his heart, Farrell has lived most of his life here and now makes his home in Aberdare. He has seen firsthand the strength, compassion, and honesty that run through our communities — values that can shape a fairer, more confident Wales.

With a background in journalism and community work, Farrell has spent years giving a voice to those too often ignored — writing about the struggles of working people, the resilience of Welsh towns, and the quiet determination that keeps communities alive. His work has always focused on shining a light on inequality and neglect, while highlighting the hope and solidarity that make change possible.

As a foster carer, Farrell understands how government decisions — good or bad — reach deep into people’s lives and shape their futures. That experience has strengthened his belief that compassion must be at the heart of politics. Every policy affects real people, real families, and real communities. Politics should never forget that.

Farrell believes in a Senedd that puts people before privilege — a Wales where no one is left behind, where power is shared with local communities, and where every child grows up proud of who they are and where they come from.

The challenges Wales faces — poverty, inequality, and the erosion of public services — are not inevitable. They are the result of political choices. It’s time to make different ones.

With Plaid Cymru, Farrell is fighting to build a fairer, greener, and more confident Wales — a nation that works for everyone who calls it home.
