To help encourage people to get involved in local volunteering opportunities as part of for ‘National Volunteers Week’ Lynne Featherstone MP last night lent a hand at Muswell Hill Baptist Church’s Soup Kitchen.

The kitchen is supported by over fifty volunteers who provide food and support five nights a week to people who have nowhere else to turn.

Commenting, Lynne said:

“I was tremendously impressed by the hard work and dedication of John Grant and his team of volunteers who give up their own time for those less fortunate.

“There are literally hundreds of opportunities to volunteer locally and the rewards are immense.I would encourage any one with a bit of time to spare to check out what is available”
