Rupert Lowe MP is donating his third net monthly MP salary to Great Yarmouth-based charity the Pathway Café & Support Centre.
This charity offers hot meals to Great Yarmouth residents, roughly 80% of whom attend are elderly, every weekday. Anyone is welcome at the café, with a takeaway service also provided. No appointment or referral is required.
In addition to these efforts, the charity also funds a warm space which will be available to those who need it throughout the winter.
The Pathway Café caters for approximately 100 individuals every day.
Rupert is donating his net MP salary which with gift aid equals roughly £5,000.
Rupert Lowe MP commented:
“19,300 pensioners in Great Yarmouth are having their Winter Fuel Allowance cruelly stripped away from them. The work of local charities such as the Pathway Café & Support Centre will go some way to mitigating that damage, and I will do all I can to support these efforts – starting with this donation of my net monthly MP salary.”
“I urge anyone in my constituency who is struggling to reach out – help is there for those who need it.”
