Being heard is only the first step.
This campaign is about turning voices into change.
I’m a Year 10 student at Notre Dame High School in Norwich and an RAF Air Cadet, building discipline, resilience, and confidence under pressure.
Outside school, I’m into badminton, drama, and flying lessons, pushing myself physically, creatively, and mentally.
I’m aiming for a career in Astronautical Science. Space, engineering, and problem-solving push me to think bigger than just myself.
I believe leadership is about stepping up, backing each other, and getting things done — not waiting around. That’s why I’ve decided to represent young people across Norwich, and making sure our voices are heard.
This campaign goes beyond Election Day, ensuring young people are consulted, actively involved in shaping policy that affects them
The campaign is powered by a growing team of volunteers aged 11 to 18 who meet twice a month to review progress and push action forward.
Every two years, a new leader from within the team will stand for election, ensuring continuity, relevance, and leadership that reflects the real experiences of Norwich’s young people.
