Gwion was a Member of the first
Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was his candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My Key Issues are:
- Apprenticeships/jobs for young people
- The Welsh language in schools
- Safe and standard school transport
I want to be a member of the
Welsh Youth Parliament so I can represent the opinions of the young people of
Wales. Also, I would like to represent them so they have a fair voice in the
Youth Parliament's decisions. I will be holding regular meetings with my
constituents, as well as online questionnaires to hear their voice. After
hearing their opinions, I will be fighting for their voice in the Youth
Parliament.
The young people of my
constituency should vote for me as I have so much understanding of politics and
how the Senedd works. Also, I have represented the school at Cardiff's Youth
Council, as well as the Commonwealth Conference.
Finally, I have completed
projects to help the LGBTQ+ community, including the Iris film project, and the
South Wales school project. I am an active citizen, and I participate in a
number of activities within the community, such as volunteering at St John's
Ambulance, and raising money for charity. I do first aid regularly, and
volunteer in athletic events, food festivals and more. Also, I have raised
money for several charities, at school, and as an extra-curricular activity.
Finally, I am keen to follow a
career in politics, and this would benefit me greatly.
