CHARITY workers are hoping to give an MP food for thought when he has breakfast with them this week.

Ashok Kumar, MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, has accepted an invitation to the Hemlington Family Resource Centre.

The centre is run by the children's charity NCH which supports families needing help with parenting.

Yvonne Cherrington, project manager at the centre, said she was delighted that Dr Kumar had accepted the invitation.
