Recognition of Mary Cobbett’s outstanding community contribution

That this House recognises the exceptional dedication and community spirit of Mary Cobbett, whose tireless efforts have made a profound difference to the lives of many in Cirencester; acknowledges her role as a founder of Cirencester Pantry, a cooperative initiative that not only helps families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis but also plays a crucial role in reducing food waste; commends her outstanding work in securing over £60,000 in benefits for local families this year, ensuring that those in need receive the support they are entitled to; further applauds her extensive involvement in organising community events, supporting local organisations such as Armes House, and advocating for vulnerable individuals; notes that her selfless commitment extends far beyond a single project, encompassing welfare support, social inclusion, and practical assistance for those facing hardship; and calls on this House to recognise Mary Cobbett as a true community hero, whose dedication and compassion continue to transform lives across Cirencester.
