Susan Kramer MP volunteered at a local Barnardos shop in the autumn last year.

Susan Kramer, MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston has spoken out in support of the Richmond Council for Volunteering Services annual Community Awards.

Susan Kramer MP commented:

"These awards are a brilliant way to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing contribution volunteers make to our local community."

"It is really excellent news that over 2,000 people have registered for volunteering placements in the borough last year, and have made such a difference to us locally."

"If there is someone in your local area who has made a real difference through their volunteer work, make sure you nominate them so that they get the recognition they deserve."
