Stephen McPartland, MP for Stevenage, joined an afternoon packed full of activities held at the Bedwell Crescent home of Roz and Graham Whitfield which raised over £500 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.  Activities included quizzes, craft stall and a piper, as well as tombola and homemade refreshments.

Stephen said, "It was very kind of Roz and Graham to open their home for such a good cause. I very much enjoyed meeting many of the local people who dropped in and donated so generously, which is a great example of the wonderful community spirit we have here in Stevenage."

Roz said, "We have raised more than £500, our best yet!  Many, many thanks to Stephen for coming to our MS fund raising afternoon, a lot of people were thrilled to meet him and we have already pencilled you in for next year."
