Nigel Evans says our support is needed now more than ever
A Lancashire MP has highlighted a special scheme which provides military veterans with household costs as the cost of living crisis bites.
Ribble Valley Tory Nigel Evans has praised the Royal British Legion’s ‘Everyday Needs Grants Programme’ in the run up to Remembrance Sunday on November 13. After meeting the charity’s area manager Alison Bunn, the House of Commons Deputy Speaker has spoken about the importance of the scheme which has seen a 20% rise in requests for support for urgent needs such as food and household costs over the last 12 months.The programme assists those who need help with essentials such as kitchen appliances, clothes, and energy costs.
“That is why I am pleased to be able to play my part in raising awareness of the new Everyday Needs Grants Programme as well as this year’s Poppy Appeal, which will further help members of the Armed Forces community deal with cost-of-living challenges. “I would encourage everyone to wear their poppy with pride this year. Not only to help the Royal British Legion continue to deliver their fantastic programme of support but also to show our serving personnel and veterans that their dedication and service is so dearly valued and that the sacrifice of those who gave their lives will always be remembered.”
