Ffion was a Member of the second Welsh Youth Parliament from
2021 to 2024.
The following was her candidate statement for election to
the second Welsh Youth Parliament:
My key issues are:
Reduce
the cost of public transport
Supporting
learners with additional learning needs
Improving
opportunities in the Valleys
Candidate statement: I am a good listener, passionate about
my area, and I can offer a strong voice to the young people of Wales. That's why
I want to be a Member of the Welsh Youth Parliament for Pontypridd - to
represent young people from all walks of life and to ensure fairness, justice
and fair play for this generation. I will use social media to communicate with
young people, and engage with different groups in order to understand and
discuss the challenges they face. I am a 16 year old girl who has experienced
many of the difficulties that are common amongst young people, especially after
such a long lockdown - and you can rely on me to offer positive solutions and
make a difference. I'm a friendly, optimistic person who is open to new ideas
in order to make sure everyone is heard. I work in youth clubs in the area,
including people with additional needs, and I understand the need for
additional resources and services to ensure that everyone can fulfill their potential - regardless of their background
and where they live. We need to offer hope and create a better future for Wales’ young people, and I want to play my part in
achieving that.
