THE MP for Tatton is backing the British Red Cross in its attempt to recruit more volunteers.
Esther McVey was invited to learn more about the work at a breakfast event in Ashley Hall with leaders from across Cheshire.
The scheme works by people registering and being called on in a crisis to help communities respond and recover from events.
Esther said: : “The work the British Red Cross do is humbling, we all know they do a great job but it was an honour to be invited to see the sheer diversity of help they provide and would urge anyone who wants to get involved to and make a difference and become a community volunteer.
“They are involved with everything, whether that is a terrorist attack, a humanitarian crisis or big fires.
“It also is community focused and makes sure people are not isolated in rural communities with just a pint of milk and they support people needing to borrow wheelchairs or help after coming out of hospital.”
“It is about being called on in an emergency that affects your community, so it would be making a real difference here in Cheshire.”
