Meeting with leaders and volunteers at JAMES, the local MP heard about the organisations’ impact on the community and was updated on ongoing efforts to maintain and restore JAMES’s headquarters at the historic Old Tramshed in Keighley.
Robbie Moore MP said:
It was a privilege to visit Joint Activities and Motor Education Service (JAMES) and learn about the vital work they are doing for local young people and families in our area.
The fantastic team at JAMES are making a real difference to our community, and I have my full support in their mission to be recognised as the most valued provider of services for young people and families in Bradford District.
The building that houses JAMES is in need of repair, and it is important that they get the funding they need to preserve this valuable community resource and ensure that it continues to provide vital services to young people and families for many years to come.
