Charlotte voted to support motion to extend the provision of free school meals over half term and the Christmas holidays- in line with the inspirational campaign led by Marcus Rashford and the Child Food Poverty Taskforce.

In the Parliamentary debate on the topic she paid tribute to the work of Warrington Foodbank, The Station House Foodbank and Friends of Meadowside who help to support the 4,500 children in Warrington North who are eligible for Free School Meals.

Charlotte said:

"Listening to the debate, I was reminded why I came into politics- it was upsetting to hear negative stereotypes and a lack of empathy for those struggling from Government MPs who just don't understand.

I am bitterly disappointed and downright disgusted that this motion was voted down by Conservative MPs but I will continue to fight to ensure that no child in Warrington goes to bed hungry."
