Andrew Bingham MP Volunteers {28 Aug 2012}
|
High Peak MP Andrew Bingham enjoyed a successful volunteering week at local charities in May, and so when he planned another week of volunteering from 28th – 31st August, the Volunteer Centre Buxton asked him along to help.
Starting early, he picked up Eric, a local pensioner who needed transport into town so that he could do his weekly shopping. Andrew then assisted with charging up the battery of our people carrier. Later, he toured the building chatting to staff, before fitting a key safe, (see photo).
To finish a hectic morning, Andrew helped on reception and then transported Eric back home again. We'd like to thank Andrew for coming to see the work we do in the community and for taking the time to volunteer!
