Elin Llwyd Brychan

Candidate Statement: I wish to be a Member of the Youth Parliament because I’d like to play an active part in shaping young people’s futures in Wales. As someone who has links with local youth organisations, I am aware of the issues that matter to young people, so I feel qualified to support them. I’m a member of the Urdd Youth Forum, Gwynedd and Môn Music Groups and the Young Farmers’ Club. Also, I consider myself to be a strong candidate because I believe in taking advantage of all opportunities and experiences that come my way. I was one of the founders of the Caernarfon Urdd group, I coach younger teams in netball and I organise gigs for young people. In addition, I am an individual with firmly held beliefs. I work for a community enterprise and I volunteer at local events of a sustainable and cultural nature. These experiences have enabled me to develop my communication and networking skills, as well as my organisational and problem-solving skills. I am also the ideal candidate because I am a conscientious and dependable person who believes strongly that young people’s voices should be heard in shaping our future.
