Bede's Helping Hands

Motion Text

That this House congratulates Bede’s Helping Hands, a food bank in Jarrow and Gateshead East constituency on receiving a King’s Award for Voluntary Service; recognises the brilliant efforts of all their volunteers; praises the incredibly important work they do; acknowledges the massive difference they make for so many; and notes that whilst food banks should not be necessary it is the effort of community-based volunteer-led organisations such as these that change lives.
