MP's Marie Rimmer & David Baines with Age UK Mid Mersey CEO Rachel McKernan and our client Iain

Age UK Mid Mersey recently hosted a successful "Tea with Your MP" event, bringing together local residents and their Members of Parliament for an open and engaging discussion. The event provided a welcoming space for attendees to share their thoughts, ask questions, and connect with their elected representatives over a cup of tea and scones.

Event Highlights:

Engaging Conversations: Residents had the opportunity to speak directly with Marie Rimmer, MP for St Helens South and Whiston, and David Baines, MP for St Helens North, about key community issues.
Open Discussions: Attendees voiced their concerns and ideas in a relaxed setting, fostering meaningful dialogue.
Community Connection: The event helped strengthen relationships between residents, local leaders, and organisations dedicated to improving the well-being of older people in St Helens.

Held at The Mansion House in Victoria Park, the event was well attended by local residents, clients, and volunteers, all eager to engage with their MPs and discuss the matters that affect them most.

Marie Rimmer, who has served as Labour MP for St Helens South and Whiston since 2015, and David Baines, newly elected as Labour MP for St Helens North in 2024, both welcomed the chance to hear directly from their constituents and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the local community.

Age UK Mid Mersey is grateful to everyone who attended and participated, making the event a resounding success. We look forward to hosting similar gatherings in the future to continue strengthening the connection between our community and its leaders.
