Lynne Featherstone

To mark international volunteering day on Friday, Lynne Featherstone MP went to help out at the Hornsey Trust’s school for children with cerebral palsy in Muswell Hill. The Liberal Democrat MP saw rehearsals for the Christmas play ‘Ralph the Reindeer’ and lent a hand with the kids’ computer class. Volunteers working in the trust’s charity shops bring in much needed resources to keep the centre going.

Lynne Featherstone commented:

“The work that takes place here every day is truly inspirational. You see it in the children’s smiles when they have overcome a hurdle or done something they’re really proud of.

“But that wouldn’t be possible without the generous time and commitment of people working in the trust’s charity shops locally. They, like so many other volunteers, give their time so selflessly to make this world a better one.

“But often, volunteers do not get recognised for the impressive work they do every day. That’s why I want to take this opportunity to say well done, and keep the work up.”
