My Life: Pegah Moulana, 18, from Shafton

In 2008 I was pleased to become a member of Barnsley Youth Council, on which I served until leaving for university this September.

I gained a vast amount of experience and took part in a huge variety of opportunities. I have been the chair of the youth council and a valued member of the leadership team. I was chairperson for the government youth select committee on mental health and most recently was elected to represent the UK in Europe as UK Young Ambassador.

Locally, I have been involved in promoting a culture of acceptance and understanding in the Barnsley Together Forum. I have also been invited to be a guest speaker at Barnsley's Reclaim the Night event to inspire young women to speak up about feeling safe on the streets.
