Why do you want to become an MSYP
I want to be a MSYP because Glasgow Anniesland is a community of many people from different walks of life. I believe our area could be improved by more clubs and opportunities for young people to meet and gain qualifications like first aid. First aid is a very important skill that everyone should have the chance to learn the basics of as it can make change to the place we live like more supplies like defibrillators being installed. I think there should be more secondary places for young people to gain support and supplies for school. Everyone deserves to have their thoughts heard as young people are the next generation.
Why should someone vote for you?
I think people should vote for me because I am a confident leader and speaker. I believe in making change and making sure people hear about change. I know what it’s like to struggle with problems in our area though school and even with mental health. I am very lucky to have had access to many supports when it comes to education and everyone should have their thoughts heard same guidance and support. No one should feel left behind when it comes to education and life skills. I really care about making a change and hearing peoples thoughts.
How will you consult with young people in your constituency?
I will hold focus groups with young people and have surveys available at all times so people can suggest change I will make sure everyone has availability to these.
