Rhys Rowlandson

Rhys was a Member of the second Welsh Youth Parliament from 2021 to 2024.

The following was his candidate statement for election to the second Welsh Youth Parliament:

My key issues are:

• Youth Mental Health
• Youth Activities
• Educational Funding

Candidate Statement: I am passionate about creating a fair society where everyone is treated equally and has the same opportunities and voice on current affairs. As such, I would enjoy being a Welsh Youth Parliament member and would make sure that I used the position wisely to speak to as many young people in my area as possible, so that I could understand the relevant issues and put forward their case to the Welsh Parliament.

I was a school counsellor on two occasion in my Primary school and this gave me good skills in communication and working with others to achieve our goals.

I regularly take part in debates in school and with my friends about today's problems and feel I can put my point my point across well but am able to take on board other points of view also.
