Faith, family and friends are important when it comes to Christmas, and Christmas is also a time when many give time to the local community. Across the Congleton constituency, churches, charities and community groups coordinate different projects, reaching those people in the community who are isolated or may be struggling. I am full of admiration for everyone in my constituency who gives up part of their Christmas for others in this way – thank you to you all.
This year, I was pleased to hear about some of the initiatives, Crewe Alex, have been doing. As part of the EFL’s Together Supporting Communities initiative, each of the 72 EFL Clubs are delivering different support services in their local areas. For Crewe Alex, this has included providing free adult and child tickets to local schools, giving everyone a chance to see their local club play – thank you!
