CANDIDATE STATEMENT

For years I have admired the work of Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru due to my devotion to politics. From a young age I have been a member of every pupil voice activity I could participate in. It made me wonder how else I could help better the lives of those around me. I am ready to not just represent my school but my constituency. The voices of my constituency are at the heart of my campaign and I would utilise today’s countless social media platforms to ensure all constituents are well-informed and heard.This year, I took an active role in building the 2024 Swansea pupil voice PLC manifesto. This manifesto shows Swansea council directly what the children of Swansea want to see change. This event re-sparked my love for politics and passion for public speaking. I want to be an ambassador for change and the voice of the youth of Wales. I want to be able to represent not just my school but my whole constituency and I hope that honour and trust will be granted to me by those who want change.

DATGANIAD YMGEISYDD

Ers blynyddoedd dw i wedi edmygu gwaith Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd fy angerdd dros wleidyddiaeth. Ers oed ifanc, dw i wedi bod yn aelod o bob gweithgaredd llais y disgybl posib. Gwnaeth i mi feddwl sut arall bydden i’n gallu helpu bywydau pobl o fy nghwmpas i. Dw i’n barod i gynrychioli’r ysgol a’r etholaeth. Mae llais yr etholaeth wrth wraidd fy ymgyrch, a bydden i’n defnyddio platfformau ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol i sicrhau bod pob etholwr yn deall yn llwyr ac yn cael eu clywed. Eleni, dw i wedi chwarae rhan actif wrth adeiladu maniffesto PLC llais y disgybl Abertawe 2024. Mae’r maniffesto yn rhoi gwybod i Gyngor Abertawe beth mae plant Abertawe eisiau ei newid. Gwnaeth hyn fy atgoffa gymaint dw i’n caru gwleidyddiaeth a siarad yn gyhoeddus. Dw i eisiau bod yn llysgennad dros newid a chynrychioli ieuenctid Cymru. Dw i eisiau gallu cynrychioli’r ysgol a’r etholaeth a dw i’n gobeithio y bydd pobl sydd eisiau newid yn ymddiried ynof fi i wneud hynny.
