Portsmouth South’s Stephen Morgan MP used parliamentary recess to volunteer to deliver food to local residents as part of his wider work with local charity Pompey in the Community (PiTC).
Time was also spent by the city MP reading poems online for use by local schools, and helping the Blue Kitchen project which aims to encourage Portsmouth families cook fresh food affordably.
The charity has provided a range of support and services for local residents throughout the pandemic. In partnership with others, PiTC were able to get 60 meals a day to be delivered to those who needed it most during the summer lockdown of 2020.
This comes as the country entered a third period of lockdown this week as Covid-19 infections levels continue to rise throughout the UK.
Stephen Morgan MP, said:
“It is critically important that those who are unable to access basic essentials such as food are continued to be supported by our local community, just in the way they have in previous lockdowns.
“PiTC have done an incredible job over the last twelve months in providing support to our local community and we are incredibly grateful for their efforts.
“It was a pleasure to use parliamentary recess to find out more about their invaluable work for our city and offer a helping hand”.
