William was a Member of the
first Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.
The following was his candidate
statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:
My Key Issues are:
- Barriers for deaf people
- Pollution
- Bullying
Hello my name is William, I am 11
years old and I live in Mumbles with my Mum, Dad, one older brother and
two little sisters, I am currently in year 7 in Bishop Gore Comprehensive
School. I like to play on my Xbox and play football, I don't like eating
broccoli.
I will try my best to listen to
everyone and make sure that many issues that exist in Wales are recognized and
fixed. Some of the issues that I feel very strongly about are, social and
educational barriers for deaf people, pollution and bullying.
I think that you should vote
for me to be in the Welsh Youth Parliament because I care about barriers for
deaf people because I have, as I will a deaf person, experienced some of
them personally and believe they need to be changed. I care about pollution
because I live in Mumbles which is a coastal village and I have seen first hand
the drastic effect that it can have on both marine and inland wildlife. I also
care about bullying because it can ruin somebody's life quite easily, not just
the person being bullied but also the bully's life too, it is also so serious
that it is actually seen as a crime and the police can get involved. I will
work my hardest to come up with a solution for these problems.
