| Ada-Hayvaci | Education is more than just school—it’s the key to our future. It should inspire, prepare us for life, and give everyone the same chance to succeed. But right now, too many students miss out on opportunities because of who they know, younger students lack support, and we’re stuck doing endless homework instead of learning real-life skills. It’s time to change that. I will push for every school to build partnerships with local businesses, hospitals, law firms, and tech companies so that every student—no matter their background—gets high-quality work experience. This will help us build skills, gain confidence, and boost university applications. Finally, learning shouldn’t be confined to textbooks. We need lessons that matter—like financial literacy, job applications, and public speaking. I will push for less homework that adds stress, and more real-world lessons that teach us practical skills. This will also give teachers more time to focus on quality teaching, rather than spending hours marking worksheets. Education is about more than just grades—it’s about opportunity, confidence, and preparing for the future. Together, we can create a system that gives every student the skills, experiences, and support they need to succeed. Let’s build a future where ambition is shaped by talent, not privilege. Let’s aim high, break barriers, and make education work for everyone. Age:16 | Click Here |  |
| Absa Thiem | As a passionate and dedicated person I believe you should vote for me to represent the Enfield Youth Council because I truly believe in the power of youth voices, and know that we can make a big change. I understand the challenges we face, and I am committed to making a real difference. I've worked closely with school and participated in many different opportunities, such as, “Use Your Voice” which was a Debating and spoken word workshop. I also took part in the First Give Fundraising Competition in which I had to raise £1000 pounds (which I gave to the NYCC- Northside youth and community connections). These have helped me step out of my comfort zone and I hope to take this further. I have developed public speaking skills, confidence on and off the stage, and a chance to be myself I stand for giving the youth greater and safer opportunities to succeed. If elected I would aim to: ● Increase access to extracurricular activities- ensure every young person has the opportunity to engage in sports clubs, volunteering, and the arts to help them develop valuable life skills ● Promote safer communities- provide positive, structured environments for the youth, reducing the risk of violence, crime and negative influences ● Invest in local initiatives -advocate and fundraise for increased funding and local efforts to create more accessible and inclusive I strongly believe these aims would make a positive impact on our youth and breaking the cycle of having “nowhere to go” Vote for me, Absa Thiam and we will make a change-together. | Click Here |  |
| Adel Hassan | The reason I eagerly desire to be a part of the Youth Council is to be heard and I want to inspire young people like myself to succeed. Growing up in a deprived area such as Enfield was difficult, but I think community is the thing that brings us together. I have proven to be a leader in many aspects. Selecting me as a representative of the youth of our borough would be a great choice as I know how to work with others and strive to benefit them. It would also make me happy knowing I can support the area in which I was raised. My skills have developed over the years through participating in various events such as performing a written musical piece to my entire school and participating in the Jack Petchey speak out challenge. These experiences have helped me to become an ambitious and confident individual. I have many ideas which I would like to put forward if elected such as putting funding towards Youth centres within Enfield. My experience within a Youth centre has been positive and helped me develop a sense of belonging. I feel that the positive mental effect Youth centres can have should be extended to others within the community. |  | |
| Akira O'Garro | I believe in the power of positive change, and I am deeply committed to advocating for the youth of Enfield. I firmly believe in treating all young people equally, valuing them for the content of their minds, not the colour of their skin, their background, or their financial circumstances. My primary focus as a representative would be to make housing a top priority for Enfield. It is simply unacceptable that children are separated from their families at such a young age, and that young people are forced to live so far from their schools. This situation contributes directly to the mental health struggles faced by many of our peers. We need to ask not just "why" this is happening, but how we can fix it. I see other serious issues facing young people in our community. The pressure to conform to online images, which results in anxiety, and young persons with a high interest in activities such as vaping. Young people should feel safe, not scrutinized and fearful, walking home from school. These are real problems, and I’m determined to address them. My achievements to date demonstrate my dedication to serving others. As Class President in Year 7, I learned the importance of representing the needs of my peers. My participation in the Chace Community drama productions allowed me to express my emotions and connect with others through art – I encourage all youth to discover their passions and find healthy outlets for self-expression. As a member of the Enfield Youth Council, I would be a strong voice for the safety and well-being of all children in our borough. I will work effectively with my peers, and I am passionate about eliminating negative feelings such as hatred, jealousy, greed, selfishness, and ignorance. I am committed to building a community where all young people feel valued, supported, and empowered. | Click Here |  |
| Ben Robley | As a young person living in Enfield, I believe we have a unique opportunity to drive change in our community. Our voices matter, and it’s time we make a stand for a better, safer, and more inclusive future. That’s why I am running for the Enfield youth elections to fight for the issues that directly affect us, issues that we cannot afford to ignore. First, housing has become a pressing problem. Many young people in Enfield face difficulties finding affordable housing, and as we grow, this challenge will only become more real. It’s essential that we demand better housing police’s that ensure a stable, supportive environment for all children and young people. Safe and affordable housing is the foundation on which we can build successful futures. Another critical issues is knife crime. It’s a tragic reality that far too many young people in our community have lost their lives or been affected by violence. We need to address the root causes of this violence such as lack of opportunities, anger, and fear and create programs that engage young people., provide them with education, and give them a sense of purpose. This is not just about reducing crime, but about building a future where our youth can grow and thrive without fear. Inclusion and equality for all, regardless of race, religion, or belief, is another crucial part of my campaign. Our diversity is what makes Enfield strong. But we must do more to ensure that everyone feels valued and respected. Every child and young person, no matter their background, deserves to feel they have a place in this community. As children, we are the future of this borough. The issues that we face today will shape the world we live in tomorrow. It’s time to take charge and make our voices heard. Together, we can create a safer, more inclusive, and more supportive Enfield for everyone. Vote for me if you want change. Vote for me if you want me to be part of the Enfield youth council. Let me be your voice. | Click Here |  |
| Dea Khdmir | Vote for me to represent Enfield Youth Council because I will fight for better job opportunities, stronger mental health support, and greater youth representation in decision-making. Together, we can create real change for our future. If elected I would aim to stand for youth empowerment, better job opportunities, mental health support, and stronger youth representation in decision-making. My goal is to create a community where young people's voices are heard, and their needs are prioritised My greatest achievement to date is my dedication to volunteering and working towards a better future for young people in our community. This will have a positive impact on their opportunities and well-being. I have experience in volunteering and supporting young people, and have developed skills in like leadership, communication, and problem-solving. I believe these make me a good candidate because I am dedicated to making a real change and addressing the issues that matter most to young people in Enfield: | Click Here |  |
| Ender Oztoprak | I am standing to represent young people in Enfield because I believe in a future where no animal or human is left behind. We can all strive towards a borough that is safer, kinder, and more caring for all. Tackling Homelessness for Humans and Animals No individual or animal should ever be forced to sleep on the streets. I will campaign for: • Increased local provision for homeless individuals, including shelters and mental health support. • Increased awareness and fundraising for local charities that are attempting to tackle homelessness. • An improved response to stray and abandoned animals, with more funding for rescue shelters. Tackling Knife Crime and Making Young People Safer Knife crime has affected too many young lives in Enfield. We need real solutions, not rhetoric. I will: • Fight for more community outreach programs to steer young people away from violence. Campaign for better street lighting and CCTV coverage in areas of high crime. Talk to local schools and youth clubs to introduce more education on the dangers of knife crime. Providing More Funding for CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) Mental health is as important as physical health. Yet waiting times and underfunding are denying too many young people the support they need. I will: • Fight for more funding for CAMHS to cut waiting lists. • Encourage mental health education in schools so young people can get help early. • Campaign for more safe spaces where young people feel able to talk openly about their mental health. Vote for me, and we can make Enfield a place where everyone(people and animals)feel safe, supported, and respected. | Click Here |  |
| Fardowsa Mohamed | Why am I the Best person to represent Enfield ? I am not running for office for vanity or personal gain—I am running because change is not just something I want, it is something I need. Enfield, like any other borough, has its flaws, but I refuse to accept that it must stay this way. Our youth, our future, are being ignored, and that ends with me. I am a principled candidate who stands for action, not empty promises. If elected, I will work tirelessly to ensure that Enfield reaches the standard it deserves. What Do I Stand For? My political ideology is rooted in socialism, in the belief that power should be in the hands of the people. Specifically, I believe in the strength of young people to drive meaningful change. We have the power to break free from the generational flaws that hold us back and build a future that works for everyone. If we create an environment where our youth thrive, the world will follow suit. A society that invests in its young people is a society that prospers. My Biggest Achievement I am not just talking about change—I have lived it. The Use Your Voice programme shaped me into the outspoken advocate I am today. When my team won the award for Best Public Speaking and Rebuttal, presented by the Mayor of Enfield, I realized that my words had power. I have the skills to represent Enfield, to defend what I believe in, and to make sure your voices are heard. What Change Do I Want? Change is inevitable—so why should Enfield be left behind? I will bring real opportunities to our youth, ensuring food security, mental health support, and pathways for success. The time for action is now. Let’s build the future Enfield deserves. | Click Here |  |
| Imran Hassan | Enfield's young people deserve a representative who will represent them, listen to them, and make meaningful change. I am that representative. I am ready to stand up, speak out, and make sure all young people in our borough are heard, respected, and given the opportunities they deserve. I believe in fairness, opportunity, and safety. I believe no young adult should ever feel unheard, unsafe, or ignored in their own community. We've all come from somewhere where we have to work twice as hard for half the breaks. But it only makes us stronger. We are the less fortunate, so we have to be the best—we have to push ourselves, demand more, and not accept less than we deserve. Perfection cannot be achieved, but that is no reason for us to give up. We can always do better, and together we can create a better future where each and every youth in Enfield has the opportunity to thrive. One of my proudest accomplishments is coming together to build on actual issues. I have seen the overwhelming power of youthful voices when we have the podium to be listened to, and I will not allow our voice to be dampened. I've worked to build solutions as a leader, drive change, and show young people that we're not merely the future-we're the here and now. I will fight to boost extracurricular activities, deliver more funding for young people's programs, and make decision-makers take us seriously if elected. I will campaign for better mental health care, safer streets, and real chances for young people to prosper. This is not a campaign—it's a movement. A movement for every young person who has ever felt silenced, overlooked, or unheard. Your voice matters. Your future matters. We will make change a reality. |  | |
| Jamie Harris | Manifesto for Safety, Community Empowerment, Sports Investment, and Women's Rights. About the position of a Youth Counselor. Hi I’m Jamie Harris standing in for this summer's 2025 Enfield youth council election.This is my manifesto and if you don’t know what a manifesto it is my plan if I was elected as an Enfield youth counselor. So how the Enfield Youth Council election works is that there are 40 people who can enter for election and the top 20 people with the most votes than becomes elected as a Enfield youth counselor.I Jamie am one of the many people who are running in this election and you the people of Enfield than decided who to vote for. You only got one vote so choose carefully. The role in which the youth council plays is to ensure that young people's voices are heard and then discuss with the council on what needs to be done around Enfield. I, Jamie, want to bring success to Enfield and I am going to convince you on why this summer you should vote for me in this election.I stand for safety, women’s rights and to live in a happy and healthy community. Ensuring Safety for All: A Right, Not a Privilege Safety is fundamental. It is the cornerstone of all other societal rights and freedoms. Without safety, no community can flourish, and no individual can realize their full potential. Unfortunately, too many women, children, and marginalized groups face violence, harassment, and discrimination on a daily basis. It is essential that we take bold steps to address the root causes of these inequities and ensure that safety becomes an inherent part of every community. We must: 1. Strengthen Public Safety Systems Safety cannot be achieved through policing alone; it must be part of a broader societal effort. Law enforcement should be trained not only to respond to crimes but to proactively prevent them. Policies that address systemic inequalities—such as racial profiling, discriminatory policing, and gender-based violence—must be put into place. Public safety strategies should also prioritize education and awareness of sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, and workplace discrimination. It is crucial to ensure that laws protecting women from violence are robustly enforced, and that those who are affected by such violence are provided with the resources and support they need to heal. 2. Redesign Public Spaces for Safety and Inclusivity Public spaces, such as streets, parks, and public transport systems, must be designed with safety in mind. This includes lighting, surveillance, and law enforcement, but also addresses the psychological and social factors that contribute to fear and isolation. Parks and communal areas should be welcoming to all, especially women and children. Ensuring that public spaces are safe from harassment and crime will encourage greater participation in community life and reduce isolation. 3. Support for Survivors of Violence For those who have experienced violence, support services are essential. Shelters, legal advocacy, mental health counseling, and crisis services should be readily available. A survivor-centered approach means treating survivors with respect and dignity while providing them with the resources to rebuild their lives. Moreover, preventative measures, such as programs aimed at educating men and boys about respect and non-violence, are critical to creating long-term change. 4. Community Engagement and Education A commitment to safety must be rooted in community involvement. Local neighborhoods must be part of the conversation about what constitutes a safe environment. This means engaging in dialogue about safety priorities, creating neighborhood watch programs, and offering educational initiatives in schools and workplaces. Fostering a culture of respect, equality, and support for everyone creates the foundation for sustainable safety in every community. Investing in Parks and Communal Spaces: Reclaiming Public Spaces for All Public spaces are more than just areas for recreation—they are community hubs, places for connection, engagement, and personal growth. Yet, many of our communal spaces are neglected, underfunded, or poorly designed, making them inaccessible or unwelcoming for large segments of the population, particularly women and young people. To create thriving, resilient communities, we must prioritize investments in public parks and communal areas, ensuring that these spaces are inclusive, safe, and well-maintained. We must: 1. Revitalize and Refurbish Parks and Communal Areas Parks and public spaces must be viewed as vital community assets, offering opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and socialization. Investing in the revitalization of parks can transform them into active centers of community life, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds. This includes enhancing the physical infrastructure of parks—improving lighting, building accessible pathways, upgrading playgrounds, and ensuring the availability of amenities such as restrooms, benches, and trash bins. Well-maintained parks invite people to spend time outdoors, fostering social interaction and improving mental and physical health. 2. Design Spaces with Inclusivity in Mind Public spaces should be designed to serve the needs of everyone, including women, children, and people with disabilities. This requires removing barriers to access and ensuring that spaces are free from harassment or discrimination. For women, this means creating spaces where they can enjoy recreation and leisure activities without fear of harassment or violence. For young people, it means building sports facilities, youth centers, and spaces where they can interact with peers in a safe environment. Additionally, spaces must be designed to encourage intergenerational interaction, with facilities that cater to both young children and elderly individuals, fostering a more cohesive community. 3. Create Spaces for Community Programs and Activities Parks and communal spaces should not just be places for passive recreation—they should also be places where people can come together for organized activities. Public spaces should host a variety of community programs such as fitness classes, educational workshops, cultural events, and support groups. This is particularly important for women and young people, as it creates opportunities for personal growth, empowerment, and social engagement. Programs focused on health, wellness, entrepreneurship, and education help to create a sense of ownership and pride in public spaces while enriching the lives of the people who use them. 4. Promote Environmental Sustainability Investments in parks must also reflect a commitment to environmental sustainability. Eco-friendly design elements, such as rainwater harvesting systems, solar-powered lighting, and sustainable materials, should be integrated into park renovations. By promoting green spaces that are both environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing, we ensure that parks and communal areas not only benefit individuals and communities but also contribute to broader efforts to combat climate change. Investing in Sports for Young People: Building Strong Foundations for the Future Sports play a fundamental role in the lives of young people. They provide not only physical benefits but also life skills, such as teamwork, leadership, discipline, and perseverance. Unfortunately, opportunities for young people, especially girls and those from marginalized communities, to engage in sports are often limited. Investing in youth sports programs is crucial to ensuring that all young people have the resources, opportunities, and support they need to develop their potential. We must: 5. Expand Access to Sports for All Young People Every child should have the opportunity to participate in sports, regardless of their background. Public investments in sports programs should aim to create equitable access to a variety of athletic activities for young people from all walks of life. This means reducing the financial barriers to participation and ensuring that sports programs are available in underserved areas. Local schools, youth clubs, and community centers should all play an active role in providing access to sports opportunities, creating an environment where young people can build confidence, stay active, and engage in healthy competition. 6. Encourage Female Participation in Sports Historically, girls have had fewer opportunities and less support to engage in sports. It is essential to actively promote female participation by providing resources, coaching, and mentorship specifically designed for young women. By encouraging girls to participate in sports from an early age, we not only promote healthy lifestyles but also challenge traditional gender roles and empower young women to build their self-esteem and confidence. Furthermore, women athletes should be given equal recognition and opportunity, both in terms of funding and media coverage, to ensure they are seen as role models for future generations. 7. Create Safe, Inclusive, and Supportive Sports Environments Sports programs must be designed to foster inclusivity and respect. This means providing training to coaches on how to create supportive environments free from bullying, discrimination, and harassment. Gender-sensitive programming, designed to be welcoming to girls and women, should be part of every sports initiative. Additionally, there should be an emphasis on ensuring that all young people, regardless of ability or background, have the chance to participate in sports and feel valued for their contributions. 8. Invest in Sports Infrastructure and Equipment The success of youth sports programs is closely linked to the quality of facilities and equipment available. Public investment should be directed toward upgrading sports facilities, providing safe and well-maintained fields, courts, and gyms, and ensuring access to quality sports equipment. By investing in the infrastructure necessary to support young athletes, we help to create an environment where young people can reach their full potential. Supporting Women’s Rights: Equality for All Women's rights are human rights, and achieving true gender equality requires a concerted effort to eliminate the barriers that perpetuate inequality and discrimination. Women must be free to live their lives without fear of violence, exploitation, or systemic disadvantage. This includes ensuring equal pay, access to healthcare, reproductive rights, and the opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of society. We must: 1. End Gender-Based Violence Gender-based violence remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations in the world. Governments must commit to ending violence against women by implementing strong legal frameworks, providing support services for survivors, and promoting prevention programs that challenge harmful gender norms. 2. Achieve Economic Equality Gender pay gaps continue to exist in nearly every sector of society. Women must be paid equally for the work they do and have equal opportunities to advance in the workplace. Policies that ensure equal pay, paid family leave, and protection against workplace discrimination are essential to achieving economic equality for women. 3. Support Women’s Reproductive Rights Women must have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. This includes access to contraception, safe abortion services, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare. Ensuring that women have control over their reproductive health is critical to their ability to make choices that affect their lives, families, and careers. 4. Promote Women’s Leadership and Participation Women must be encouraged and supported in leadership roles, both in politics and in the private sector. Equal representation in decision-making processes ensures that women’s voices are heard and their needs are met. Supporting women’s leadership initiatives, from mentorship programs to policy reforms that promote gender parity, will help build a more equitable future for all. Conclusion: A Call to Action The time for action is now. We must come together—governments, communities, organizations, and individuals—to build a safer, more equitable world. Investing in safety, public spaces, sports for youth, and women’s rights is an investment in the future of society. Every person deserves to live in a community that is safe, inclusive, and empowering. This manifesto is not just a vision for the future—it is a roadmap for creating a society where all individuals, regardless of gender, age, or background, have the opportunity to thrive. Let us commit to this work, not as a choice but as a moral imperative. The time for change is now. Together, we can make this vision a reality. Thanks For Reading And Go Vote For Me 🙂 |  | |
| Jeneba Musa | I PROMISE’ A manifesto is what any leader intends to do, what they plan and set to do for the better of the community, however my manifesto is going to be different from everyone else as my strive to be youth mayor means the first step to this journey isn’t just what I want to do for the better of my community but instead a promise and a pledge to you all. As to be a wanted and respected leader it all starts with making a promise and then further down the line completing that promise with actions that I fully intend to do and achieve to the highest of my ability. I promise to allow, listen and understand every voice, as the key to building a space for every single young person to achieve is to allow their wants and needs to be heard I promise to create workshops and spaces where everyone has an opportunity to experience different work fields and job careers as one day we will be building a better tomorrow and experience is the teacher of all things. I promise to be a leader who values everyone simply due to them being human and not leave anyone out because of their personality and religious and physical differences. I promise to continue to promote a community where bullying and youth violence is stopped and spaces where youth feel they are safe to come and express themselves if they are worried about anything I promise to be a leader that not only puts there 100 but 150 percent effort into everything I do as youth mayor I promise to commit to open communication, empower everyone's talents into achievements as every person has gifted talents that deserve to be shown and celebrated I promise to support and invest in everyone while I still lead with transparency, honesty and integrity I have so much to add and say but it would be endless, but what sets me apart from every other candidate is how I articulate and push myself to act out my promises that are completely different from every other candidate here. All my promises are both what I stand for and believe in and with these two strengths here, it pushes me to be the best person to stand for the Enfield youth council. As the world is progressively changing, I believe a leader is needed who can keep with change and adapt which I just not believe but know I can do. Having a leader who is diverse in their thinking and talking allows me to further amplify my will to build a better space for young people. Using my promises, young people are guaranteed a welcoming environment where everyone feels safe, accepted and genuinely enjoy the space around them. I hundred percent know that these are the qualities that everyone wants as a leader, and I know I am that right person. | Click Here |  |
| Joshua Arobieke | As a candidate for the Enfield Youth Council, I am passionate about creating a future where young people are informed, empowered, and represented. If elected, I will focus on three key areas: raising awareness about the dangers of vaping, promoting the importance of education, and ensuring young people are fairly represented in decision-making processes. Raising Awareness About the Consequences of Vaping Vaping is a growing issue among young people in our community, and its consequences are often overlooked. I will work to launch initiatives that educate our peers about the dangers of vaping, focusing on the long-term impact it has on health, addiction, and overall well-being. Through campaigns, workshops, and partnerships with local health organisations, I aim to spread the message that we deserve better than the harmful habits that may seem trendy now but could hurt us in the future. Emphasising the Importance of Education Education is the key to our success. As young people, we must be encouraged to reach our full potential, and this starts with access to quality education. I will work to highlight the value of both academic and personal growth, ensuring that we are not only academically equipped but also prepared for the challenges of the world beyond school. By collaborating with schools and educators, I will advocate for programs that help us thrive in all aspects of learning. Fair Representation of Young People Our voices matter, and I believe it’s essential for young people to be included in conversations about the issues that affect us. As a member of the Enfield Youth Council, I will ensure that we are heard and that our opinions shape local decisions. Being elected is a fantastic opportunity for me to further my passion for youth leadership and to make a real difference in our community. With my past experiences as a school ambassador and deputy house captain, I’ve developed the skills needed to lead and represent others. I am ready to bring that leadership to the Youth Council and fight for what matters most to us. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future for the youth of Enfield. | Click Here |  |
| Kemo Jatta | Hello, my name is Kemo, and I believe I’m the right person to represent the Enfield Youth Council. I’m passionate about making sure young people’s voices are heard, and I’m great at sharing valid points in a way that others understand. Getting your voice heard is essential in this role, and I believe I can be a strong advocate for the views of others, especially those of my peers who are often overlooked or dismissed. I can relate to many young people, particularly those who are in care, as I’ve seen firsthand how their voices can be ignored by social workers or carers. The people who are supposed to support them often fail to listen or truly understand their needs. I believe young people in care deserve a platform to express their views, and I will ensure their voices are amplified in the council. This is something that aligns with the 9 qualities and standards of care, which emphasize that children’s wishes and feelings should be listened to. One of my proudest achievements this year was joining the Young Leaders program, which has been an opportunity to grow and develop my skills in youth work. I’m passionate about helping and supporting others, and I also volunteered at a youth charity event called Love Christmas with Exodus Youth, where I gained valuable experience in customer service and made new connections. I’m hardworking, kind, and a good leader—especially for younger people. If elected, I promise to work tirelessly to ensure young people, especially those in care, have their voices heard. I also want to tackle issues like the amount of rubbish around Enfield, which affects our parks and communities, leading to increased anti-social behaviour. Let’s make Enfield a better place for all of us. Vote for me! | Click Here |  |
| Kieza Baptista | You should vote for me because as a young person myself I understand the struggles young people go through. If I am hopefully elected, I aim to tackle the struggle of being afraid to reach out for help when struggling with mental health as I understand how hard it really is. This would have a positive impact because then people who are struggling can get the help they need. I believe this makes me and ideal candidate because I can relate and have experienced it before. Thank you. | Click Here |  |
| Layla Jalal | I’m Layla Jalal, and currently running for the EYC. I believe we have the potential to become great influences and better our community. However, there are factors standing in our way, like the issue of declining mental health and lack of young girls entering STEM. By overcoming this, Enfield will become a better community. Within the two years, I hope to increase the acknowledgement of female figures in STEM, give girls the confidence to choose the path they want, and increase support for those with mental health issues. This would better the community as women currently make up only 30% of those in STEM fields, and increasing the number of girls going into science creates more diversity in workplaces, bringing forth more ideas and more ways of doing things, improving science as a whole. There’s no biological reason that makes males better at these things than females, but there’s a societal stigma which discourages girls from pursuing them. I’m not saying I’d increase it to 50% in two years, but I want to make a difference and present better opportunities for as many girls as possible. Another goal is striving to improve services for those struggling with their mental health, giving them a safe space. If being elected helps even one person, I’m happy, but I hope to reach a wide part of the youth, encouraging them to work on themselves and seek help. Currently, 1 in 6 people aged 11-19 have mental health problems, helping them would also help their loved ones and society, as we’re the future. Vote for me, I have the dedication and mindset needed. I’m compassionate and have experience in debate, meaning I consider everyone’s perspectives. As a young person, my best interests are your best interests. Vote for me, and you’re voting for yourself. | Click Here |  |
| Lucy Pham | Enfield has been my home and as a young Vietnamese Youth I am passionate about changing our community. I believe in helping others to achieve and learn to reach their goal and putting their needs first. When debating or putting forth ideas, I am a confident speaker when voicing opinions which will have a strong impact for the Youth Council. If I am elected, my aim would be to raise awareness on mental health, rising crime rates and doing fundraisers for those in need. I am involved in school clubs and activities in music and drama. I am dedicated outside of school to expand on my knowledge which would make me an ideal candidate and also, I would be able to commit to upcoming meetings in the future. My greatest achievement is performing on stage and being able to work with others to play in an orchestra. I believe that the Youth Council will be able to help me with critical thinking and to seek new perspectives and opportunities. I contribute to projects by always putting myself forward and debating which requires communication and leadership skills with my peers. When going out of my comfort zone, I am willing to learn and gain new experiences to enhance my knowledge in skills which will help me in the future. Looking at previous ideas in Youth Council, I’m certain that I can formulate plans which will have a positive impact on many. | Click Here |  |
| Melis Yuce | I still remember my first day at an English school after moving from Turkey - my hands shaking, my heart slamming against my chest as I stood before the class, struggling to introduce myself in what little English I knew. Even as a four-year-old, I hated not being able to express myself and make my opinions heard. I never wanted me or anyone to feel like that ever again. I’m Melis and I'm running for the EYC because I want to make a difference. For years, I've been performing and volunteering at Chickenshed Theatre, an incredible charity that provides a performing arts education to those less fortunate, welcoming everyone regardless of their race, gender, religion etc. Through my experience in six shows, including a lead role, I've gained the confidence to speak powerfully. I want to use this voice to advocate for those who might be afraid to speak up themselves. As your representative, I'll focus on fighting discrimination. In 2025, we still face racism, sexism, and discrimination. I always wondered how we as human beings can hate each other for the things about us that make us unique. To try to end this, I will create campaigns promoting inclusivity and create opportunities for people from all backgrounds to share their experiences. I think it’s possible for us as people to put behind this hatred and stereotyping and make a world where everyone is included. Thanks for reading and I promise that if you vote for me, we can create positive change in Enfield, building a better future where everyone's voice matters. | Click Here |  |

| Olivia Selcuk | My name is Olivia Selcuk, I am 17 years old, and I am a very passionate, caring and intelligent young person, who is dedicated to the development and achievements of myself and others. I begun my journey with helping others in the Ponders End Youth Club where I joined the young leaders program. Within this new journey I have also obtained a Level 1 mechanics qualification. Till this day I continue to help in the youth centres with mechanics, safeguarding ambassadors and young leaders. I am now ready to expand my abilities further into the community by becoming young mayor. If I become young mayor, I will commit to solving issues around the care system, knife crime and mental health for young people in Enfield. These issues have affected myself and others in the care system for years, things like unregulated placements, lack of support from social and care workers creates an unsafe and unsettling environment in which not even a plant could grow let alone a young person. Knife crime is also a priority for me as I unfortunately lost a dear & best friend to this issue and because of this, I want help the community work on its regulation and solutions to knife crime which actually relate too, and benefit young people. Lastly but honestly the most important issue and often the root of young people’s issues – Mental health. Mental health is something I personally believe is a growing problem in my generation and is affecting my age mates drastically. My goal ultimately is to actively change the narrative, culture and approach to these issues for young people in the community and eventually expand to the whole of London. | Click Here |  |

Every young person deserves to feel safe at school, at home, and in their community. However, issues such as knife crime, bullying, and lack of youth representation continue to impact our daily lives. I am committed to ensuring that every young person’s voice is heard and valued. In 2018, I lost my brother to knife crime. The pain and loss my family experienced are feelings I never want anyone else to endure. There were times when I felt unheard and powerless, but those experiences have fueled my determination to make a change. No one should have to feel the way I did, and that is why I am dedicated to ensuring a safer, more supportive environment for all young people in Enfield. If elected, I would aim to: ● Tackle Knife Crime – Addressing the root causes of violence through education, intervention programs, and community partnerships. ● Enhance Mental Health Support – Advocating for better access to school-based counselling and wellbeing initiatives. ● Strengthen Youth Representation – Ensuring young people have a platform to influence key decisions affecting their futures. ● Improve School Safety – Implementing stronger anti-bullying measures and safeguarding policies. By fostering safer communities and improving mental health support, we can create an environment where young people thrive rather than fear for their safety.

| Perrez Ampofo | When you think of Enfield, what comes to mind? For me, it’s criss-crossing the borough visiting my mum’s friends after church for a Sunday chit-chat or rushing out, milk-less, to the only Tesco Express in Enfield Island Village. Living here since 1 month of age, I can proudly say—Enfield is home. Hello, my name is Perrez Ampofo, a 15-year-old Latymer student, and I am running for the Enfield Youth Council. Since childhood, I’ve been a good listener, communicator, and empathiser with all types of people—often the friend people turn to for advice. These skills got me elected Head Boy in Year 6 and a Wellbeing Ambassador in Year 9, where I listened to, understood, and respected my peer’s concerns. Enfield’s safety is my top priority. Our crime rate is 21% higher than the UK average—this is unacceptable. To tackle the problem foundationally, increasing police presence on our streets is essential. Additionally, better post-16 careers education can inspire and motivate young people towards a brighter future. Environmental safety matters too. As we’ve seen in our parks and green spaces, wildfires due to rising temperatures are becoming more frequent. I propose improving Enfield’s sustainability by eliminating plastic packaging in schools and promoting better recycling practices. Let’s not forget the safety of our children. More awareness is needed around the long-term consequences of vaping, as well as more secure financial education in order to not leave the next generation financially illiterate! Furthermore, my confidence and ability to handle pressure grew through spelling bees and debating competitions—including debating at the Enfield Civic Centre! I strongly advocate for reviving such multi-school events, giving everyone a chance to develop new skills. As Barack Obama once said, “Yes we can!” For a fairer, safer, and more representative borough → Vote Perrez! | Click Here |  |
| Rachel Isufi | You should vote for me because I believe I would be the best person to represent Enfield Youth Council, I have experience in tutoring children and teenagers in different subjects, so I know that this will help me understand people individually, including their ways of learning and expressing themselves. Along with tutoring, I have experience in babysitting. One of the children I babysit has Special Educational Needs, so I believe I have developed many skills from these experiences, such as multitasking, communication, and leadership. Through these tasks, I have learnt that everyone is different, and different opportunities have to De tailored to different p people, so I hope to implement this fact into our society in order to help every type of person. I stand for many different things. Firstly, I like to stress the importance on reducing plastic usage in order to contribute to saving the environment, because no contribution is too small. Given the fact that the ocean produces 5096 of the oxygen we breathe, I know that we, should not only work save the environment, but firstly become educated on this matter. Another firm belief of mine is inclusion and equality for all. Despite the fact that the UK stands by the Equality Act 2010, it is evident that there is still inequality in society. If I was elected, I would aim to tackle the inequality of employment for young people, and aim to combat the stereotype in the workforce surrounding teenagers, ensuring that the youth has an equal chance of being employed. This will not only create a higher sense of inclusion but eliminate the number of youths in Enfield having to turn to illegal and crime related measures in order to make an income. | Click Here |  |
| Rachelle Lopoua | Fellow residents of Enfield, I am committed to making Enfield a better place for all. As your council member, I will work hard to address the challenges facing our community, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Safety is essential to a thriving community. I will invest in local programs that address the root causes of crime and strengthen police-community collaboration. By increasing youth outreach and focusing on proactive measures, we can reduce crime and build a safer Enfield for everyone. Fighting Discrimination Discrimination, in any form, weakens us. I will champion policies that promote equality and ensure everyone feels valued and included—regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or background. We must stand together to create a fairer, more just community for all. Improving Education Support for students is crucial. I will ensure that behavior and learning interventions are available to all students, helping them succeed academically and socially. By investing in education, we strengthen our future.

| Romaisa Zaidi | The opportunity to succeed shouldn’t depend on your background or circumstances—it should be within reach for everyone in Enfield. If elected, I will work to create real change in three key areas: education, tackling food poverty, and celebrating young people’s success. 1. Improving Education & Equal Opportunities Push for better study resources so all students, regardless of their school or background, have access to high-quality revision materials. Introduce targeted workshops to teach effective study strategies and reduce stress and anxiety around exams. Advocate for practical education, including workshops tackling misogyny and racism, ensuring young people are equipped with knowledge that promotes equality and respect. 2. Tackling Food Poverty & Food Waste Work with social impact companies like Too Good To Go to make surplus food more accessible to those in need. Collaborate with local businesses and supermarkets to create initiatives that reduce food waste while helping families struggling with the cost of living. Raise awareness and promote food-sharing initiatives within schools and communities, so fewer young people go hungry. 3.

| Sahra Aden | My name is Sahra Aden, and at 16 years old, I am determined to bring meaningful change to our borough as a Youth Council member. My passion for youth empowerment, advocacy for ethnic minorities, and commitment to change drive me to take this step forward. Through my active participation in youth clubs and my research on mental health in ethnic minorities with Displaced—earning me an AQA accreditation from the Mayor of Enfield—I have gained insight into the pressing issues affecting our youth today. Knife crime is a growing crisis, with children as young as Year 4 being exposed to violence. Social media, personal experiences, and peer pressure contribute to this issue. Many carry knives for self-defense, unaware of the devastating legal consequences, including imprisonment, which can ruin their future. By raising awareness, engaging in early intervention programs, and educating young people about the dangers of knife crime, we can prevent violence and save lives. Bullying—whether physical, verbal, or online—can lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, and lasting emotional distress. Schools must implement strict anti-bullying policies and foster an environment of kindness and inclusion. Every child deserves to feel safe. Providing Equal Opportunities With rising inflation, many families struggle to afford after-school programs. By introducing free youth clubs that teach life skills—such as confidence, self-discipline, and leadership—we can empower young people with knowledge beyond the classroom. Collaboration among parents, teachers, and local leaders is essential. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive future where every child in Enfield thrives.

| Tolga Celikkalkan | In a world that moves too fast and listens too little, I stand for a simple yet powerful belief: every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. This manifesto is my commitment to mental health and fostering a culture where empathy and understanding thrive. Listening is more than hearing words, it is the foundation of connection and healing. Studies show that simply feeling heard can reduce anxiety and improve well-being. Yet, in a society full of distractions, true listening is rare. I stand for being present, creating spaces where people feel safe sharing their stories, and amplifying voices that often go unheard. Being heard is not a privilege—it is a right. When people are silenced or dismissed, isolation deepens, and mental well-being suffers. A society that listens is a society that heals. Mental health is as vital as physical health. In the UK, 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem each year. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6 people face common mental health challenges like anxiety or depression every week. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 50, and 1 in 6 children aged 5 to 16 have a probable mental health condition. These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real lives and struggles. We must break the stigma and ensure seeking help is seen as a strength, not a weakness. I believe in advocating for mental health resources, workplace wellness programs, and policies that prioritise well-being. Mental health care must be accessible, affordable, and destigmatised. Above all, I stand for kindness, for showing up for others, and for reminding people that their voices matter. When we feel heard, healing is possible. When we support mental health, individuals and communities thrive. My commitment is to listen, advocate, and ensure no one feels invisible. | Click Here |  |
| Vihansa LOKUGE | I’m Vihansa Lokuge, and I believe in empowering young people by expanding opportunities for skill development, fostering community engagement, and strengthening interschool 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. | Click Here |  |
| Zachary Szalai | I am standing for an Enfield Youth Council position to ensure young people are at the heart of our future. My manifesto is based on three key priorities: involving youth in politics, providing greater opportunities or earlier work experience/training, and a youth support system. These will help us thrive and become active, engaged people. 1. Involving Youth More in Politics: Young people in Enfield need a stronger voice in political decisions. Our concerns, ideas, and ambitions should be reflected in the policies that shape our lives. I’ll aim to: • Advocate for greater youth representation in council meetings, to ensure we have a real say in decisions. • Work to create online spaces through the council that specialise in answering and helping young people with their questions/concerns. • Promote and introduce school programs educating young people on the importance of politics, voting, and how to make a difference in their communities. 2. Work Experience and Job Training Opportunities: Young people's futures depend on today’s opportunities to build the skills needed for tomorrow. Early exposure to the world of work can shape careers, offer experience, and help us feel ready for the challenges ahead. I'll strive to: • Ensure that work experience placements are accessible, offering real-world opportunities that equip young people with skills for the job market. • Advocate for training programs within schools, in collaboration with local businesses, that teach practical skills needed for a range of industries. • Work with local employers to create more apprenticeship opportunities, providing pathways into skilled jobs directly from school. 3. Building a Stronger Support System for Young People: It’s essential that every young person in Enfield feels supported in their future professional development. I’ll aim to: • Push for initiatives that improve young people's digital skills, ensuring they are prepared for a tech-driven future and can access opportunities in the digital world. • Remove barriers to opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Conclusion: As an Enfield Youth Council candidate, my mission is clear: to give young people the tools and platforms we need to succeed. From having a stronger voice in politics to gaining access to job training earlier, I'll fight for our future. | Click Here |  |
