Hello my name is Effie Capstick I’m 15 years old and this is my application for the Welsh Youth Parliament. I believe that I have the enthusiasm and commitment to be a great representative and that I would be able to give an unbiased and clear voice on behalf of the young people of Ynys Môn. My interests include: the environment, Welsh language and culture, and mental health services for young people in Wales. I have enjoyed working as part of a team, presenting information and public speaking. I have recently completed my bronze and silver DofE awards and have been part of the NWWT for nearly 2 years as part of the seagrass restoration project. Through this project I have spoken at public events and have also met with politicians. I have spoken on behalf of my school due to the impact RAAC on pupils, and I have been invited to attend the Senedd prior to COP16 to present a youth manifesto about CO2 with the NWWT. I believe these experiences make me an excellent candidate.
Helo, Effie Capstick ydw i. Dw i’n 15 oed a dyma fy nghais ar gyfer Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru. Dw i’n credu bod gen i’r brwdfrydedd a’r ymrwymiad i fod yn gynrychiolydd da ac y bydden i’n gallu bod yn llais diduedd a chlir ar ran pobl ifanc Ynys Môn. Mae fy niddordebau yn cynnwys: yr amgylchedd, iaith a diwylliant Cymru, a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl i bobl ifanc Cymru. Dw i wedi mwynhau gweithio yn rhan o dîm, cyflwyno gwybodaeth a siarad yn gyhoeddus. Yn ddiweddar, dw i wedi cael fy ngwobrau Dug Caeredin efydd ac arian ac wedi bod yn rhan o Ymddiriedolaeth Natur Gogledd Cymru (NWWT) ers bron 2 flynedd yn rhan o’r prosiect adfer morlaswellt. Drwy’r prosiect hwn dw i wedi siarad mewn digwyddiadau cyhoeddus a chwrdd â gwleidyddion. Dw i wedi siarad ar ran fy ysgol oherwydd effaith RAAC ar ddisgyblion, ac wedi cael gwahoddiad i ddod i’r Senedd cyn COP16 i gyflwyno maniffesto ieuenctid am CO2 gyda NWWT. Dw i’n credu bod y profiadau hyn yn fy ngwneud i’n ymgeisydd ardderchog.
