The only campaign within a reasonable distance (on a teenager’s budget!) was the Alyn & Deeside by-election, which has now rightfully resulted in the election of Jack Sargeant. I like to consider myself a driven person, and I came to the conclusion that I had to get out there and do whatever I could to support the Party, especially considering the tragic circumstances and vital nature of the vote to balance the Welsh Assembly.

I can’t give enough praise to the Alyn & Deeside Constituency Labour Party; they made campaigning seem so valuable and meaningful, that a small job done well can mean a lot to the cause.

Everyone can make a difference, no matter how great or how little.

Stepping out and onto the doorstep was simultaneously one of the most terrifying and exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of undertaking. Every door was a new realm of the unknown, every person a new opportunity for spreading Labour’s message. It taught me that a bit of consideration can mean a lot and that we as individuals can contribute meaningfully to something far greater than just us.

Everyone can make a difference, no matter how great or how little. Together, we can be more than the sum of our parts, but that means that we have to work together and get out there to try and win each vote locally. If every member thinks that they can make a difference, then they will, because they will be doing it united.
