PRESS RELEASE
March 27, 2008

Malcolm Moss MP calls on North East Cambridgeshire’s Poverty Fighting Organisation’s to stand up and be recognised.

On the 16th July the Centre for Social Justice will be hosting an awards ceremony in London to recognise, reward and celebrate grassroots organisations across the country that do exceptional work in tackling poverty and advancing social justice.

The five awards which total £50,000 will be presented by celebrities and politicians who have previously included the Rt Hon David Cameron MP, the Rt Hon Sir Menzies Campbell CBE QC MP and Dame Kelly Holmes MBE.  Malcolm Moss MP is calling on relevant organisations in North East Cambridgeshire to apply for a share of the £50,000 prize pot before the 14th April deadline.

Malcolm Moss MP said “The Centre for Social Justice Awards is an excellent event where hard-working and dedicated volunteers and innovative, effective schemes are recognised in the presence of celebrities, MP’s and business leaders who often have much to learn from these grassroots initiatives and heroes! I hope that some of North East Cambridgeshire’s excellent charity groups that do much to tackle poverty gain some much deserved support and recognition”.
