Hey, I’m Sam! I want to become a member of the Welsh Youth Parliament, because I want to help people who have problems with mental health, those who have become young carers, and those who suffer from the challenges that surround neurodiversity. I myself am neurodivergent and I am a young carer. I have seen how Wales’ system for mental health support and accessible help for neurodivergent people is underfunded and I believe it can be improved, so more young people can get the necessary help for their needs. I want our voices to be heard; for people to understand our perspectives and ensure that our generation, and future ones, have the support we deserve through these problems. I believe that I can be the voice to help push for better support, as I have experience in formal debate and I believe I can bring my voice across, but none of that matters without the help of you: the public. So please, let me push for better support in Wales for young people who need it.
Helo, Sam dw i! Dw i eisiau dod yn aelod o Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd dw i eisiau helpu pobl gyda phroblemau iechyd meddwl, rhai sydd wedi dod yn ofalwyr ifanc a rhai sy’n dioddef gan heriau o ran niwroamrywiaeth. Dw i’n niwroamrywiol ac yn ofalwr ifanc fy hun. Dw i wedi gweld bod system gymorth iechyd meddwl Cymru a chymorth i bobl niwroamrywiol yn cael eu tanariannu, a dw i’n credu bod angen gwella hynny fel bod mwy o bobl ifanc yn gallu cael yr help maen nhw angen. Dw i eisiau i’n lleisiau gael eu clywed; i bobl ddeall ein safbwyntiau a gwneud yn siŵr bod ein cenhedlaeth, a chenedlaethau eraill yn y dyfodol, yn cael y gefnogaeth ni’n ei haeddu drwy’r problemau hyn. Dw i’n credu y gallen i fod yn llais i helpu gwthio am gymorth gwell, gan fod gen i brofiad mewn dadlau ffurfiol a dw i’n credu fy mod i’n gallu codi llais ond dydy hynny ddim yn bwysig heb eich help chi: y cyhoedd. Felly plîs, gadewch i mi wthio am gymorth gwell yng Nghymru i bobl ifanc sydd ei angen.
