Steve Byrne

Stephen was born in Chester in 1960, to Maureen (nee O’Sullivan) and Joseph, both members of the Post War, Irish diaspora of the 1950’s.

​​Parallel to fulfilling a broad range of nondescript but nonetheless, life nourishing jobs, Stephen secured a part time Youth Worker qualification in 1979. This in turn, eventually, led him back into full time education, completing his Youth and Community studies in 1990.

For the next 30 years, working for either the Health Authority or Local Authority, Stephen helped to deliver open access drug and alcohol Services, across Liverpool, the Wirral, Chester and finally Wrexham, having moved permanently to North Wales in 1998.

​​Stephen is thrilled to have become a Trustee on behalf of TCC, having reignited his original interest via Paolo Freire, Training for Transformation and Caia Park Partnership… Creating a fitting triumvirate indeed.

​​Stephen describes his passions as music, art and literature and his distractions, as any one of his 16 grandchildren.
