MP John Hayes showed his support for a charity’s vital work by visiting the team at a Spalding shop.

Mr Hayes met shop staff and volunteers at the British Heart Foundation shop to learn more about what the charity is doing in the community.

He said: “It was great to pop in and meet the dedicated members of staff and volunteers that work at the Spalding BHF shop.
“It is such a fantastic cause and the work they do is vital in the fight against heart disease.
“I’d urge locals to have a root around and donate any unwanted items to the shop or give the gift of time by volunteering.”

Mik Parkin, BHF area manager for Spalding, said: “We’re really grateful to John Hayes for coming in, visiting our shop and meeting the team.
“We’re always looking for stock donations, which are absolutely essential to the success of the charity and play a vital part in fighting coronary heart disease – the UK’s single biggest killer.
“We’re also looking for more volunteers, so even if you can only spare an hour, pop in to the shop in Market Place to find out more information.”
