Clive Jones (Wokingham) (LD): It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms McVey. I thank the hon. Member for Chelsea and Fulham (Ben Coleman) for securing this very interesting debate. Across the country, voluntary organisations act as the backbone of community life, providing essential services for residents, whether that is feeding the hungry, supporting the isolated and vulnerable, or helping those in crisis. That is true in Wokingham, as it is in so many parts of the country.
