West Dorset MP Chris Loder has visited Broadwindsor Rangers, the older members of the girl-guiding movement, to discuss life as an MP, and ways to get involved in Westminster and politics more widely.
The local MP met with the group on Friday 25th November in Broadwindsor. The visit was scheduled as part of the UK Parliament week which occurred the week before and aims to encourage proactive involvement amongst young people and community groups, in the role of Parliament and their elected representatives.
Chris said; “It was great to meet with so many bright and talented young people, all taking such an interest in politics, the role of an MP, and what I as their Parliamentary representative can do to support our community. As someone who left school and worked for the railways for 20 years, I was keen to encourage everyone to pursue their dreams at whatever stage they may be in life.”
