A strong voice for the youth of Torfaen
I am standing for the Welsh Youth Parliament to represent our community, champion real student priorities, and make sure young people in Torfaen are heard in Cardiff.
Key priorities for our schools and community
My campaign focuses on direct, tangible improvements for everyday student life across Torfaen. Here is what I am fighting for in the Welsh Youth Parliament.
Free school meals
Every student deserves access to nutritious food throughout the day so that no young person has to study on an empty stomach.
Period dignity resources
Free, accessible period products and dedicated health resources must be provided unconditionally in all schools and youth centres.
Better education
Pushing for updated classroom resources, life skills training, and equal support systems so every student can fulfil their potential.
Youth representation
Ensuring decisions made at the Welsh Youth Parliament reflect local perspectives from Blaenavon, Pontypool, and Cwmbran.

Why I am standing for Torfaen
Torfaen's young people deserve dedicated representation. From school dining halls to classrooms and community spaces, our everyday experiences must inform national youth policy. I am committed to listening closely to your ideas, keeping you updated, and taking our community's voice straight to the heart of Welsh democracy.
Empowering every student voice
A democratic parliament works only when everyone takes part. Explore local opinions, find campaign events, and discover how easy it is to register and cast your vote.
