Jake Blackmore

Autism awareness; Mental health; Healthy lifestyles
My name is Jake, I am 15 years old. I am autistic. I go to Queens Croft High School. I attend Liberty Jamboree in Burntwood who support young people with SEND. I am part of a running and boxing club and enjoy keeping fit. I am also keen to help young people with their mental and physical health.


Lily-Ann Eastwood

Self image; Mental health; Our futures
Hi I’m Lily-Ann Eastwood. I am 12 years old. I am campaigning for self-image, mental health and anxiety about our potential futures. I believe that everyone should have a voice and an opinion on their future. I think everyone should have access to the same opportunities no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or religion.
Laura Domian

School funding; Substance misuse; Stopping knife crime
My name is Laura Domian and I strive to run for your Youth Parliament member as many political issues are highly important to me. I most eagerly will try to make schools in the local area more fairly funded rather than the current poor underfunding. I wil also try to prevent substance abuse within young people resulting in a safer and more educated choice behind substance usage. Finally I will try to tackle the huge problem of knife related crime in Staffordshire. Overall I hope to create a better generation of young people, focussing on education social advances and being my personal best at all times. I also show a genuine interest in helping people, politics and debating.


Oscar Smallwood

The environment; Mental health; Inclusivity
Hi I’m Oscar Smallwood, a 13 year old from Tamworth. I am interested in everyone being socially accepted. A small fact about me is I like ornithology. I believe that I can make a difference because I am very interested in equality as a lot of people I know have been subject to discrimination.
