Midlothian MP and MSP to co-host a Cost of Living drop-in

Midlothian’s MP and MSP are inviting people to come along to an afternoon of free advice and support to help with the cost-of-living crisis.

Midlothian South MSP Christine Grahame and Midlothian MP Owen Thompson (both SNP).

The informal drop-in event, at the Gorebridge Beacon on Friday, October 14 from 1-4pm, is a chance to chat directly to a range of organisations and get up-to-date information on issues such as the financial support packages available, money and debt advice, welfare and benefits, energy costs and efficiency tips, housing support, mental health and wellbeing support and more.

Owen Thompson MP said "I know how many people are worried about the cost of living crisis, so events such as this are an important way to bring people together. There are some fantastic organisations coming along, offering practical support and expertise in a whole range of areas."

Christine Grahame MSP added: “No-one should be left in the cold this winter nor kept short of food.

"A range of organisations will be there to offer their expert help and advice.”
