Gosport MP Caroline Dinenage has visited the Centrepeace Hub in her constituency to learn more about how the organisation is helping those in need of emotional support and practical advice.
The Centrepeace Hub is run by volunteers from the local church community who offer a listening ear to those who feel that they cannot talk to family and friends. The volunteers can also signpost people to various help agencies and offer short courses to those wishing to build up their confidence.
During her visit, Caroline met with volunteers and spoke to clients about how Centrepeace's services are helping them through difficult times.
She commented:
"Centrepeace offers invaluable help to those who feel they have nowhere else to turn and having spoken to people who have benefited from the kind, friendly and helpful approach of volunteers, I am extremely proud that such an organisation is operating in our area."
Caroline is a keen advocate of volunteering and hosts an annual reception in Westminster to personally thank local volunteers for their hard work and dedication.
