Friends of station receive donation in honour of Jo Cox (MP)<br />
The friends of Batley station, a legacy of former Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox, has been handed a donation<br />
in her memory.<br />
The Charity Walk for Peace decided to pay tribute and honour Jo’s legacy by donating to the charities<br />
that she supported.<br />
The first charity chosen was Batley food bank and a cheque for £1,500 was presented to them on the last<br />
day of Ramadan. The second charity chosen was the Friends of Batley Station (FOBS) which was<br />
created by both Jo and Councillor Gwen Lowe and is run entirely by local volunteers.<br />
Councillor Lowe, chair of FOBS, accepted the £1,500 donation and said that the funds will be put<br />
towards the cost of a proposed coffee shop which may open at Batley station in memory of Jo Cox, MP.<br />
The presentation was attended by the volunteers of FOBS and representatives from the Charity Walk<br />
for Peace.<br />
