Jon Cruddas MP said: "Havering Volunteer Centre have been fantastic over the last year and have supported thousands of local people. I have had good reports from my constituents who have benefitted from their schemes to tackle isolation. This Christmas will be like any other in living memory, so I would encourage people to support the centre and the work they are doing to deliver some festive cheer to those that need it most this year."
