Sir George young, Leader of the House of Commons visited the Roberts Centre and as a former housing minister was really impressed by the work that they do in resettlement of families and their children’s services. What I didn’t know was that he opened April Square as the housing minister and if we had more time, I would have shown him around. After visiting the office in Cresswell Road we walked to the housing office in Guildhall Square and on to see a flat which was about to be occupied by someone recently made homeless. It is voluntary organisations like the Roberts Centre which are part of the Big Society that David Cameron talks about.

We went on to the Beneficial Foundation Café which I am a great fan of. It is very well priced and they do delicious baked potatoes. They also have a craft shop open to the public which is well stocked. The Beneficial Foundation helps people with learning difficulties to find employment and teaches them how to live independently.
