Motion Text

That this House congratulates Wokingham-based charity Wokingham In Need, and its founder Sue Jackson, on receiving the King's Award for Voluntary Service; recognises the vital work done by Wokingham In Need and similar organisations in communities across the UK in providing for homeless and vulnerable people; recognises that poverty exists in every community in the UK and is devastating for those who experience it; and calls on the Government to do more to ensure that all communities in the UK are resourced to support the vulnerable regardless of crude statistical measures of deprivation.
