MP Honours Young Millennium Volunteers

John Baron MP has awarded certificates to local young volunteers from Beauchamps, Billericay and Mayflower Schools during a recent visit to Parliament in recognition of all their hard work across Basildon District.

During the visit by Millennium Volunteers, the 50-strong group was also given a tour of the House of Commons after a Q&A session.

John said: “These youngsters have done a great job in helping communities across Basildon District, whether by volunteering their services for charities and schools, or helping local residents. They are a credit to themselves and to their schools. It was therefore a pleasure to help them celebrate their achievements here in Parliament.”

“Too often, today’s youth gets a bad press, but here we have 50 people who challenge this view. The team at Millennium Volunteers is doing a great job.”
