WOULD-be members of the uniformed services have been taking part in a range of community projects across Keighley.

Keighley Big Local teamed-up with the town's college to help deliver various schemes for students working towards the NCFE Level 2 Diploma for Entry to the Uniformed Services.

Tasks included carrying out footpath improvements and removing debris from the banks of the River Worth.

As part of their community module, the students – supported by the River Worth Friends – cleared litter. The bagfuls of rubbish were removed by Bradford Council.

"The students are a great bunch and have contributed so much to Keighley over the last couple of years," said Shaun O'Hare, of Keighley Big Local.

"The combination of real-life projects, great support from Keighley College and the energy, spirit and focus of the students has seen a real can-do attitude emerge. It's been a pleasure to be active alongside them."
