Barnardos is seeking volunteers in Keighley to help young people with disabilities.

The charity aims to recruit people to assist with the integration of disabled youngsters into community activities.

Tahir Mahmood, volunteer co-ordinator with Barnardos at Bradford, told us: "The aim is to enable children with physical or learning disabilities to participate in more activities with other young people. It could perhaps be a youth group or going to a leisure centre. The volunteer would help the young person settle in."

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Checks on potential recruits are carried out with the police and child protection register.

Full training is given, and expenses are paid.

A display is being held in the Airedale Centre on June 2, 3 and 5. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can contact Tahir on 01274 481183.
