This week I’ve dropped in to the Link’s Tuesday coffee morning in Stradbroke. This takes place every week and is a great way to get together and meet new people in the area.

They also have a walking group on Mondays and do fantastic work with young people and with the wider local community.

I’m proud to have supported them with my community fund, paid out of my MP’s pay rise, and to have the support of Helen, one of the volunteers who runs the Link. She told me: “Louise has supported us in the past with the money she’s donated, she’s a regular in the Link and her support is really appreciated”.
