Grant Shapps visited Welwyn Garden City's Woodhall Community Centre to lend a hand to an aspiring politician.

The Welwyn Hatfield MP went to help Woodhall Opportunities Project student Jamie, who is keen to get involved in community politics and join his local political party.

"I loved meeting Grant," said Jamie. 

"He was really nice and he signed my documents and will help me with my goal. I want to help the Prime Minister to run the country and I want to be a top boss."

Jamie attends the day service provided by SJOG, which supports people in achieving their personal and professional goals through a system of education and experience.
