Vihansa LOKUGE

I’m Vihansa Lokuge, and I believe in empowering young people by expanding opportunities for skill development, fostering community engagement, and strengthening inter-school connections.

To many students in Enfield miss out on competitions, leadership programs, and activities that build confidence and public speaking skills. I want to change that.

Everyone deserves the chance to have their voice heard, develop key life skills, and build meaningful connections beyond the classroom. No student should miss an opportunity simply because it wasn’t available to them. Whether it’s stepping onto a debate stage or leading a community project, every young person deserves that chance.

One of my proudest achievements was winning the Young Citizens Magistrates’ Court competition with my team. This experience strengthened my public speaking, teamwork, and leadership skills—qualities I will bring to the Enfield Youth Council. My leadership extends beyond this as a member of my school council and former Patrol Leader in Scouts, where I led my team in challenges like the Chiltern 20 and District Day Challenger.

If elected, I will introduce an Activity Council to organize interschool tournaments, charity drives, and leadership programs—strengthening community bonds in Enfield. This will give students the chance to explore their passions and gain real-world experience. I also propose peer-led study groups, creating a supportive, interactive, and less stressful learning environment.

Beyond leadership, I have dedicated years to community service as a Scouts Young Leader, organizing charity events like a bake sale for my Scouts group. I’ve also volunteered for the Nightingale Cancer Support Walk, Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns, and park clean-ups. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, preparing me to represent young people effectively.

Your vote isn’t just for me—it’s for a stronger, more connected Enfield, where every young person gets the opportunities they deserve. Let’s make that future a reality.
