The charity supports families in the town with nursery provision, community activities, advice, meeting rooms, as well as a foodbank.

Ms Kitchen said: “Every time I visit the Victoria Centre, I’m always so impressed with the services they provide the local area. I feel so inspired by what they achieve on a tight budget and it just goes to show the incredible community spirit we have in Wellingborough.

“They have battled through some really tough financial constraints and if I’m fortunate enough to be elected, I want to use my background as a fundraising manager for major charities, to ensure centres like this secure the grants and funds they need. The support they provide is too important to lose, especially as people are struggling through the cost of living crisis.”

Anneliese Dodds MP said: "It’s been so lovely to see the work being done at the Victoria Centre to bring the community together through regular meet ups, providing company and a warm space for older residents here. It’s an incredible place that operates on a shoestring but is such an essential service for so many in the area.

“Contrast this with the current suspended MP for Wellingborough, Peter Bone, who it has been revealed, mentioned his girlfriend more times in the House of Commons than the cost of living, inflation or struggling families.

“Wellingborough needs a fresh start, and they can get that with Labour and our brilliant candidate Gen Kitchen. She will be a fantastic representative for the area, and will actually speak up for residents if elected, something the current Tory MP has completely neglected to do.”
