Kim is the Member of Parliament for Batley and Spen. She is the sister of Jo Cox MP who was assassinated in 2016. 

 In 2018 Kim was awarded the Prime Minister’s 1000th Points of Light Award in recognition of our work to build a positive legacy for Jo, and a Northern Power Women Award for being a ‘Person with Purpose’. In the 2021 New Year’s Honours List she received an MBE for services to social cohesion and combatting loneliness during the Covid-19 pandemic. Kim never thought about these awards being for her but for the fantastic team working together to make a difference locally and nationally.

 Kim has always been a very driven and determined person and she is determined to make a difference that prompted her – after much soul-searching – to put herself forward for election as her local MP in the 2021 by-election. Kim took her sister’s former seat in Westminster on July 5th 2021.
