Dom Bevan - Hi I’m Dom and although I’m 17 what I lack in age I more than make up for with a fire for Jesus and a passion for seeing young people fully involved in every aspect of the Church. I believe that young people should feel empowered, comfortable and secure to share their growing faith in their local churches and the wider world.

Genesis Padgett - Hello, my name is Genesis. I'm a proud Yorkshire lad, 18 years old, and studying at Cliff College as a Methodist. I truly enjoy connecting with people, forging new friendships, and expanding my knowledge. My special talent is juggling, and I can't wait to share my skills. I'm eager to engage with everyone and convey your thoughts to the adults, advocating for changes we want to see across the Connexion.
Hugo
Hugo Hildred - I'm Hugo, I am a 17-year-old A Level Philosophy student. I was born in Lincoln, but l've lived most of my childhood on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales. I have now moved back to Lincolnshire, where I also live on a farm. I am a keen Scouts member and I love outdoor sports. I have grown up attending the Methodist Church, but I also enjoy worshiping in other churches, such as the Church of England.
isaac
Isaac Nicholson - I'm Isaac, a 18-year-old proud Cornishman running for Methodist Youth President. I'm passionate about all types of sport, (particularly football and athletics) caring for God's natural creation and tackling injustice. I firmly believe in using these gifts to engage with young people and helping them to encounter God. My aim is to help young people understand that they genuinely can make a difference, regardless of background or gender.
