A huge thank you to Rupert Lowe MP for taking the time to visit us today. I was expecting a quick 15‑minute drop‑in, but he and Jonathan stayed for a full hour, chatting with our volunteers and customers.
We spoke openly about the realities and challenges of running a CIC, and how organisations like ours can make a real difference in supporting local communities.
There’s been a lot happening recently, and Mr. Lowe and his team have consistently offered support and guidance, something we’re truly grateful for.
After meeting him properly today, I found him genuinely inspiring, and I’m delighted to have had the opportunity.
Thank you.
