My manifesto for Torfaen
I believe every young person in Torfaen deserves an equal chance to succeed, no matter their circumstances. As your candidate for the Welsh Youth Parliament, I am fighting for practical changes that relieve financial stress on families, protect dignity in schools, and ensure that our education system supports every individual learner. This campaign belongs to all of us.
Universal free school meals
No student should have to sit through class hungry or worry about whether their family can afford lunch. Expanding access to nutritious, free school meals takes direct financial pressure off local households and ensures every young person has the fuel they need to focus, learn, and thrive throughout the school day.
Dignity and period resources in every school
Nobody should ever have to miss out on lessons, sports, or social activities simply because they cannot access basic hygiene essentials. I will campaign for free, discreet, and reliable period dignity products across all secondary schools and colleges in Torfaen, removing barriers and stigma for good.
Better education tailored for every student
Having moved across schools and countries as part of an army family, I know first-hand how challenging it is to adapt when learning environments shift or when extra behavioural and educational support is needed. I will champion better classroom support, listening to young people's voices to build an education system where no learner gets left behind.
