Stella Creasy outlines her event in Westminster next week on what it means for Walthamstow to have a Labour & Co-operative Member of Parliament

I’m organising an event next Monday 20th February in Parliament for people from Walthamstow to find out more about what it means to have a Co-operative as well as Labour MP.

From campaigning on schools, sportsclubs, hospitals, the future of our railways or credit unions, the Co-operative Movement has a wide range of policies and ideas to contribute to shaping the future of Britain. This event is an opportunity for anyone who has ever wondered about our work within our Parliament to learn more our activities promoting co-operative ideas and values within UK policy making.

It will be an informal and relaxed evening, with light refreshments as well as the opportunity to meet members of our local Co-operative Movement and to hear from special guest speakers. The event will be held on Monday 20th February 2012 in the Jubilee Room (off Westminster Hall) and will start at 7pm.

Please note as this event is in the parliamentary estate you will need to allow 15- 20 minutes to pass through security to enter the venue. Places are limited for this occasion so if you would like to attend please email or call Mark Lewis in the office to confirm your attendance on mark@workingforwalthamstow.org.uk or 020 8521 1223.

If there are other residents of Walthamstow who you think would enjoy participating in this event or you would like to invite to attend to learn more about the Co-operative Movement please do let us know as they would be very welcome. Please note we will need their names and a contact email or phone number for them.

I hope you will join me and many others next Monday to find out more about the Co-operative Movement,

Stella Creasy
Labour and Co-operative MP for Walthamstow
