I want to be voted because I can work very well with 5-10 years old. I can also sort incidents. I would like to be an advocate for my school.

If I get elected I would improve the sports activities including badminton, football and basketball. So please vote for me so I can make South Kilburn a better place for you!

Also, I think the parks need to be improved and it’s only small things that need to be made better but it would make a big difference. South Kilburn has lowered its crime levels but I think it could be reduced even more.

That’s enough about what I think – I want to know what you want so vote for me if you want to improve the area for young people – we’re just as important!

Let’s get down to business… I got nominated by my friends from the OK Club to stand here because I’m a good representative for people and their views. I’ll help bring more music and sports facilities to South Kilburn. I can help make the ends better and safer for everyone.

Please vote for me!

I have been part of the Young People’s Select Committee on anti-social behaviour where I was able to question local and national representatives about youth issues. I also went on a residential course where I was able to represent you when talking to the government about youth issues. Also, through the Youth Board, I have been able to fund important youth projects that will benefit all young people in our area.

Vote for me and I will ensure that your voice will continue to be heard.

If I get this chance I would like you all to enjoy yourselves, so I would help groups like dance, football and music. I want South Kilburn to be your South Kilburn, a place where you have something to do every day.

Vote for me and I will make South Kilburn yours and give you the chance to have your say.

I will be a good Youth Board member because I will listen to what you have to say and I think South Kilburn should be better and the crime should be cut down. So if you vote for me then I will get clubs on, like dance, Art, drama, dance for the girls and football for the boys. Boys and girls could also do sports like tennis, badminton, football and cricket.

So if you vote for me South Kilburn will change.

Help me to help you change South Kilburn for the better - Vote Tekla!

Also, the facilities around here are not in good condition either. We need more sporting facilities to give kids more sporting opportunities. We should have a South Kilburn Sports Centre for all ages.

Vote for me and your ideas will be fulfilled.

Like I said in my last manifesto I want to be a voice for you. I feel that I have carried out my word on the Youth Board by speaking out for the youth. I have represented you by interviewing local residents and business people, youth service providers, the police, local wardens and government officials, and asking them about what they are doing for young people. I also went on a residential trip with two other youth board members to give advice to the government on youth matters. I have helped a number of youth groups in funding their projects in SK and recently I have been in the local newspaper talking about the many issues that occur in our area.

So SK, vote 4 me!

I think that I should be chosen because many people know me around South Kilburn. I think that there should be more activities after school, safer parks and a club which has different activities for everyone.

Vote for me, if you really want a change!

My plans for the area are to provide football pitches- nice- looking and hi- tech with lights for night play, a skate park, ramps, and good space with training provided. For the older lot, the 1, 2, 3, project- that includes making music, writing lyrics, and making videos.

And you’re the boss!! Training and guidance and facilities free for all!! I’ll do what is said and what is said only! So trust me.

Have you ever wanted funding for sports, music or media projects? If you vote for me I’ll get you that funding.

Youth of South Kilburn stand up and have a Voice!

So if you want some positive changes in South Kilburn vote for me I will do my best to make them happen.

I know that I can express all you problems and certain situations that young people are going through. It’s all about improving South Kilburn, the community, involving our young people and not putting them down, and introducing more youth clubs for 16 yrs onwards to give them activities to do and keep them off the streets and stop local crime.

More training courses for the young people and support groups as well for the ones who just came out of prison.

Vote for me because I’m out for my people!

That’s why I want you to vote for me again – there is a lot more I want to do. I can really make a difference. I want to be the voice of the misrepresented youth of SK and try to get some action done; in fact, not try, GET some action done.

I’ve laid my cards out on the table and they are all good – I hope that you can see what I’m trying to say, which is SK is no fun but it could be if all the hard work pays off. The sky’s the limit so reach for the sun; if you don’t den you won’t ever get none!

So I think you should vote for me because I can give you what you want. I know that I can make a change in South Kilburn to help all in the area.

Thank you so much.

I feel this will give me a great pleasure as well as enabling me to fulfill my wider ambition. I volunteer worked for ‘voice’ and I have developed a wide range of useful skills such as working under pressure and communicating with different people from all works of life. I also want to give something to community because I come from a very rough background so therefore I feel as if the community etc has provided me with a lot of opportunities so I feel as if I should give back to the community

Whether I’m elected or not I’m still willing to get involved with the Youth Board and play my part.
I am confident modest and reliable but I am always willing learn.

If I’m elected I promise to do what I can to create more facilities and sporting clubs for young people to use. I will not only be targeting the younger, but also the older youths of SK because I feel that we do not have things to keep us busy.

A vote for me is a vote for a brighter future. I may not be the best man for the job but I know that the job would make me a better man.

Isha Michael-Sesay , 20
Hey Guys!
Its Isha again, thank very much for everyone who voted for me last year. I’ve had a really brilliant year on the Youth Board. I've learnt and grown so much. I would love to be on the Youth Board again and I feel I have more to learn and give. I would really like it if you could please consider me again to be on the South Kilburn Youth Board.

Wouldn’t you be glad to have someone on the board who has lived in Kilburn all their lives, one who knows the positives and negatives and wants to change as many negatives into positives as possible? This person is me! I love South Kilburn and want to change South Kilburn for the better.

Vote for me if you want to do your bit for the community. You may not want to be on the Youth Board, but voting will still make a difference.

Think Positive. Think Change. Think Isha!

Being re-elected will mean that I will continue to be able to make the changes that YOU want to make in South Kilburn so that YOU can help me and the other members of the board create the South Kilburn that YOU want.
