On Saturday 12th September James Cartlidge joined the Sudbury team sorting donations for the victims of the Sudbury Fire and the Syrian refugees. James said that it was "fantastic to see the huge Sudbury community spirit in action. So many people were generous enough to donate clothes and essentials to both those made homeless by the recent fire in Sudbury and the Syrian refugees. I have huge admiration for the organisers and the kind members of our constituency".
