Conor McGinn MP Member of Parliament for St Helens North
Conor visited the Tesco store in Earlestown to meet store manager Sam Aldred, Leslie and Linda and to support the Trussell Trust annual food collection, which last year alone collected 3.6 million meals for people in need.
2,600 Tesco stores across the UK are taking part in the annual Food Collection, which encourages shoppers to donate to The Trussell Trust to support to people who might otherwise go hungry this Christmas in St Helens North.
People should not have to rely on food banks. However, the Tory Government’s austerity policies are the reality for many people, both in and out of work.\n

People should not have to rely on food banks. However, the Tory Government’s austerity policies are the reality for many people, both in and out of work.\n
But thanks to the generosity of many people, those in need will be able to get support through The Trussell Trust’s foodbanks and the work of organisations such as the Hope Centre in St Helens and their volunteers who are working hard to prevent people going hungry at Christmas
