Chris Pincher MP with 6th Tamworth Scouts and the £100 cheque

Tamworth MP, Christopher Pincher, met with 6th Tamworth Scout Group (Amington) this week to hand over a donation of £100.

Mr Pincher recently completed an opinion survey and was awarded a cheque for a charity of his choice.  He met the Scouts and their leaders during a visit to Sainsbury’s, Ventura Park, where the team were packing customers’ bags to raise money for the 2012 Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Mr Pincher said, “The Scout Association is a great organisation and institution with hundreds of young people attending meetings each week.  Scouting offers exciting and adventurous activities, giving young people opportunities they wound not get day to day and enabling them to build their confidence and skills.”
