Candidate Statement: I am a Welsh queer 15 year old who uses
any pronouns. I am a creative and a very family oriented person and I consider
the GISDA LGBTQ+ Youth Club as a part of my extended family. GISDA was
established to provide shelter and support to vulnerable homeless young people
in Gwynedd and I am committed to represent all of our young people’s voices
across GISDA.
I am an active young person and have arranged and
participated in protests on climate change and mental health and have also
addressed my school on issues concerning LGBTQ+ and POC history, LGBTQ+ sex
education and other matters. Involving my fellow pupils’ voices in that process
was important to me. I also organize an activism group called The Northern
Youth Protesters.
Apart from protests, fighting for what's right within the
walls of the Senedd is also very valuable and important. I am looking forward
to this experience and I am very honoured to have been chosen.
My three key topics are a new diverse and inclusive
curriculum, improving youth mental health services and to form a climate
emergency plan for youths.
