All set for Social Action Week

I will be out and about next week working with charities and volunteering with local organisations as part of Social Action Week 2012.

I have organised the week for the second successive year and will be supporting a number of local community organisations in an effort to promote the hard work of volunteers across Harlow.

On Monday I will team up with Zoe Oakes from Rainbow Services and will be travelling to a number of schools to continue my ‘Reading with Rob’ Literacy campaign.

I have already visited seven schools in Harlow and the villages as part of this initiative.

Once again I will have the opportunity to read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, to children of all ages upon the Rainbow Services Bus.

Throughout the rest of the week I will be working at organisations such as Harlow Foodbank, Harlowsave Credit Union, Harlow Lions Club, St Clare Hospice and Harlow Talking Newspapers.

As MP, all through the year I visit many hundreds of community organisations and charities.

Through my regular Social Action Week, I am able to not just visit these charities but actually work with them and get a real feel for how much work they do in our community. It helps me experience the challenges they face every day.
