Last week I had the absolute privilege to speak at the dispatch box in the House of Commons chamber as a debate lead for the Yorkshire & Humber region, concluding our 'Food for Learning Bill'.

One year on from the launch of the Yorkshire and Humber Climate Action Plan, grassroots action continues to drive change from the ground up. Read Yorkshire’s plan:

@DevSharmaMYP, Chair of the Youth Select Committee, opens the launch event at @UKParliament, for the committee's report into the impact of cost of living on young people's health and well-being 🗣️🍏

@DevSharmaMYP @UKParliament Next up, Deputy Chair of the Youth Select Committee Curtis Yip summarises the conclusions of the report - including recommendations on issues like: 🥪Expanding access to nutritious free school meals 🤝Equalising pay & state support 💓Boosting mental health provision ➕...& more

The UK Youth Parliament came together to debate their Food for Learning Bill which aims to extend free school meals for all children in compulsory education. As a long recipient to this provision myself, I cannot stress how much it can affect a child’s education.

It was a pleasure to welcome the UK Youth Parliament debate leads and special speakers from the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to Speaker’s House during @UKYP. It is important to give young people a platform to raise their voices on issues they care about.

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, concessionary travel fares for young people are now more important than ever – and with limited funding from government, it’s incredibly disappointing to see that ‘Zoom’ will be scrapped next month.   @olivercoppard

The ‘Zoom Beyond Travel Pass’ is something that we at the South Yorkshire Youth Combined Authority introduced just after covid. It has significantly helped young people across the region to use public transport, making us one of the cheapest in the country for ages up to 21.

Obsessed with the pictures of the first evidence session for the Youth Select Committee

On Friday I was in Parliament for the Youth Select Committees first oral session, investigating the impact of the cost of living crisis on young people. I am delighted to have been elected as Vice Chair of the committee and look forward to submitting our findings to government.

Today marked my final session at Rotherham Youth Cabinet as I leave for uni. I cannot be more grateful for all the amazing people and opportunities I’ve had the privilege to meet and explore. It’s been an honour representing young people in Rotherham. Thank you @Rotherham_YC

In March I spoke at the Student Sustainability Research Conference hosted by the University of Leeds. It was fantastic to celebrate the great research by undergrad and postgraduate students from all across Yorkshire. @UniversityLeeds @YorkshireUnis

It was great to be on the Economy & Finance Panel at the Yorkshire Sustainability Conference yesterday with Kate Smith, Vera Trappmann, Natasha Babar-Evans, Georgina Knockton and James Murray MP. Fantastic discussion around the social and technical aspects to a green economy.

I’m delighted to be speaking on the Economy Panel at the Yorkshire Sustainability Conference this week. Looking forward to discussing green skills and jobs within Yorkshire! @YkSustainableWk
