A Middlesbrough lunch club is to have a guest visitor today – the town’s
UKIP Euro-MP Jonathan Arnott.
Mr Arnott will be attending a barbecue organised by Tickle The Taste Buds
Lunch Club at The Christian Center Building, Loxley Road,
Thorntree.
The club, which relies on donations of food and money, provides a free
two course meal every fortnight and Mr Arnott said he was delighted to accept
the invitation to experience the work of the organisation at first
hand.
The group started 17 years ago to feed the homeless and get people housed
but now helps people with a wide range of problems and
issues.
“I cannot praise the work of this organisation highly enough,” said Mr
Arnott.
“They are doing a fantastic job helping people in society who need it the
most and I am looking forward to meeting the organisers and seeing if I can help
in anyway in my role as local MEP,” he added.
About 40 people are expected to attend tomorrow’s lunch which starts at
noon.
