Daniel Downton

Daniel 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:

• Raising awareness for hearing issues
• Improving hearing impaired resources
• Reduce amount of single-use plastic

Candidate Statement: I want to be a youth parliament member as I am interested in making a difference and I want to raise awareness of hearing-aid wearers. To make sure that people get their voices heard, I will be working with the NDCS to gather and represent views of hearing impaired children in Wales. People should vote for me because I want to  make more people have the same support I have for my hearing issues. I am on the year council for my school, I am confident at putting across others ideas and opinions, being part of a inclusive community is something that is very important to me and something that I think we should all be aiming for in both in school and outside. I am passionate about the environment and ways to save our planet.
