Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was her candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My key issues are:
Inequality
Obesity in young people
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
My name is Nia Griffiths. I am
currently in Year 8, play in my local netball team and enjoy going to Guides. I
would like to start by expressing how much this opportunity would mean to me
and would like to represent the young people of Wales. It is vital that we have
a say in how our country is run. I am actively involved in a number of groups
within my high school and can see the difference it makes to have a voice.
There are many ways I could
consult with the young people in my area. Firstly, I would approach my school
to hold assemblies and meetings with my peers. I can also reach people through
my Guides unit and social media. This would ensure a wide range of young people
have their say. I am an excellent communicator and listen well to the views and
ideas of others. I am confident, committed and always put 100% effort into
everything I do. I am friendly and not afraid of speaking up. I have many ideas
for making this country an even better place to grow up in. Vote for me for
your voice to be heard.
