I had the chance to interview Evie, a member of the UK Youth Parliament, to learn more about her role and the issues she is most passionate about.

THE INTERVIEW

Q. What does being Wales’ Member of the Youth Select Committee mean to you?
A. There’s more than 500,000 young people across this nation – having been entrusted to effectively represent their views on the Youth Select Committee (YSC) is, of course, an honour. Fulfilling this position will be my most active representative role to date – I plan to take great care and responsibility when speaking and advocating on behalf of Wales’ young people.

Thank you to Evie for answering my questions and good luck with your work in the UK Youth Parliament.
