WESTMORLAND and Lonsdale MP Tim Collins will be championing the work of Lakeside YMCA, Newby Bridge, in Parliament after becoming a patron.
Mr Collins visited the YMCA National Outdoor Education and Development Training Centre - which runs children's, youths' and corporate courses - on Friday to mark his new role.
Mark Graham, Constituency assistant for Mr Collins, said: "Mr Collins is banging the drum for Lakeside in the corridors of Westminster.
He thinks they do fantastic work with a wide variety of children and wants to let colleagues know about its work."
