Biography

Caitlin was a Member of the first Welsh Youth Parliament from 2018 to 2021.

The following was his candidate statement for election to the first Welsh Youth Parliament:

My Key Issues are:

  • Equal opportunities
  • Poverty and homelessness
  • Living in care - Our past does not dictate our future

I know what supports and systems there are out there through experience. This has impacted my life and has made me see life as real as it is. I am passionate about making things right not only for myself but for others around me.

I would like to see a future for myself in the next 5 years but the reality for me and lots of other people is we see our future as our next meal, a warm bed and a roof over our head, or we feel that we don’t have a future.

I am an individual person, but I don’t stand alone. People who stand around me share many issues that I do, but we are not heard. My voice is not only for me but for many others whose voices have not yet been listened to.

You can’t change our pasts but you can make our futures!
