James Murray visits Ealing Foodbank in Perivale – EALING.NEWS – The Voice of Ealing 7 towns

Current Ealing North MP James Murray, who is seeking re-election as the Labor and Co-op candidate for the constituency, visited Ealing Foodbank’s Perivale center in St Nicholas Church to thank volunteers for their help supporting people who use the service.

The local food bank, which is part of the Trussell Trust, which supports food banks across the country and in Ealing alone, around 3,000 were helped in March 2024.

Mr Murray said: “I was really pleased to be able to go to the St Nicholas food bank in Perivale again today to thank the volunteers for all their work. Their great commitment and dedication is so important at a time when so many people are struggling.

“I want the use of food banks in our country to go down, not up. That’s why I’m asking people to vote at this election to change the government so we can tackle the cost of living crisis which is making life difficult for so many people in Ealing North.”

Ealing North has been represented by Mr Murray since 2019, when he was elected to replace Stephen Pound, who stood down after 22 years, and won by a majority of 12,269 votes over the Tories.
