Volunteer Days

When I became the Member of Parliament for Salisbury, I pledged to spend one day a month volunteering at a local charity, Parliamentary business permitting.

Alabare Cafe

My latest volunteering stint was with Alabare Christian Care Centres. In an attempt to gain an overview of the vast range of work Alabare does, I was put to work in several sites across the city centre – Cafe Alabare, the drop-in centre and the charity's head office.

There is no better way to gain a full understanding of the work of an organisation and the needs it is addressing than by spending a day getting 'hands-on' with its day to day running and Alabare was no exception. They gave me a tough but thoroughly enlightening and worthwhile day, for which I am very grateful.
