Zerina Ahmed

We live in a society today where our youth faces many challenges on a daily basis, suffering in silence.

My name is Zerina and I will be discussing why you should vote for me. I would be the best person to represent the Enfield Youth Council as I have great communication skills, have empathy as I can understand the experiences of youth from different backgrounds as I myself come from an ethnic background and grew up in a diverse community.

I am a very responsible and open-minded individual who will take this role seriously and represent the council professionally. I have a passion for advocacy and a genuine interest in youth issues and have a desire to make a difference.

One of my greatest achievement so far has been organizing a youth hub fundraising that raised over £1000 for a local charity. This experience taught me the importance of teamwork, planning, and how small actions can make a big difference. I stand for kindness, fairness and inclusivity. I want to create a community where everyone feels safe, supported and valued, no matter their background. I believe in tackling issues that matter most to us, like mental health, knife crime and drugs, which are serious challenges facing young people in Enfield. If elected, I would aim to improve mental health support for young people. I know how stressful school and life can be and I want to make sure there are more resources and safe spaces where we can talk about our feelings and get help when we need it.

This is why I, Zerina, deserve to be a representative of the Enfield Youth Council. Together we can make Enfield a safer, happier and more inclusive place for all young people.
