Calor Gas CRY Parliamentary Reception

8th June 2010

CRY corporate supporters, Calor Gas, kindly organised a Parliamentary reception for CRY to raise awareness within Westminster of CRY’s work. The reception took place on Tuesday 8^th June in the Jubilee Room.  This was not long after the General Election, and all current MPs were invited.

The reception was sponsored by Vince Cable MP,  Roger Gale MP and Graham Stringer MP and was attended by 22 MPs as well as Calor and CRY staff and representatives - including Professor Sanjay Sharma and CRY Chair, Hugh Mulcahey.

CRY is very grateful to Calor for organising this event, giving CRY the opportunity to meet some of the newly-elected MPs in addition to MPs who already support the charity.

After a brief welcome by Annette Brooke MP on behalf of Vince Cable, and a 'thank you' from Paul Blacklock - Calor’s Head of Strategy and Corporate Affairs - Alison Cox MBE (CRY’s Chief Executive) gave a brief overview of CRY’s aims, objectives and achievements.

During the evening, MPs engaged in conversation with members of CRY and Calor staff .

CRY would like to thank Calor for their ongoing generous support; and also the sponsors and all the MPs who took time out of their busy schedule to attend the reception.
