Duncan Ballard is the new Church in Wales representative on the Central Readers’ Council (CRC).

Duncan is Vicar of the Cowbridge Ministry Area in the Vale of Glamorgan, where he and his team care for 15 churches.

He has served in a wide range of parishes — from urban estates to deeply rural communities — and previously ran a company developing technology for blind and deaf-blind people. He remains passionate about disability inclusion and the connection between spirituality and technology.

Duncan supports Lay Ministry in Llandaff and across the Province, and brings a wealth of experience to the role.

Married to Ellie, he enjoys dry-stone walling, restoring old computers and clocks — and walking the dogs (even if they’re more enthusiastic about it than he is!).
