Ruby Cradle

Ruby 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:

• Raise awareness of period poverty.
• Expand and improve the curriculum.
• Improve schools resources for disabilities.

Candidate Statement: My name is Ruby Cradle, and I am enthusiastic about joining the Welsh Youth Parliament, due to the fact that I have foreseen the positive outcomes and beneficial repercussions seen to young people in Wales due to the efforts of the last Youth Parliament and would like to continue their successful efforts and accomplished work.

I would attempt to consult with young people in my area through previous embodied resources such as social media, school programmes and through the programmes and events ran by the youth parliament itself. I believe that people should consider voting for me because I would be an optimistic and motivated ambassador for the young people of my constituency, and will do everything I can to represent young peoples needs and ensure that their voices are heard at a national level.

I have represented my year group over the last six years by being an active member of the schools council and eco-council, as well as becoming a prefect this year. I believe that my experience in these roles would contribute towards being an effective and conscientious representative for the members of my constituency due to the several different skills that I have developed.
