Making SEND work better for families in Aldershot and Farnborough
Education should be about helping every child to thrive. But too many parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities tell me that they find themselves locked in a constant battle just to be heard.

It was great bringing Charlie Kristensen #cheerupcharlie to meet the Education Minister Olivia Bailey. We discussed his foundation's campaign around anti-bullying and what more the Government can do to tackle bullying in schools.
I’m always inspired speaking to Charlie about his charity's work in our community and beyond. It’s vital we protect and empower our young people. So I was glad their lived experiences were shared with the Minister.
Charlie’s a real source of pride for our community and a true change-maker!

#aldershot #farnborough #blackwater #hawley #yateley #cheerupcharlieChange doesn't happen overnight especially something like bullying. I had the privilege of going to the Department of Education and meeting with Minister Olivia Bailey and MiP Alex Baker to discuss the future of anti bullying within schools. It is something that I have wanted to do for many years and I am so glad to finally have the opportunity. I truly believe that we are the generation of change makers but know I need the government's help to do this. It's incredible to finally hear those words "let's do this and be the change makers" #cheerupcharlie #antibullying #education #awardwinning #charity #EducationMatters ... See MoreSee Less

As the Home of the British Army, and proud hosts of the national Armed Forces Day celebrations this year, we know just how important it is to back our defence industry.
So I asked the Prime Minister how a Defence, Security and Resilience Bank, built with our allies, could unlock finance to strengthen our defence industrial base, create local jobs, and deliver for our Armed Forces on the front line.

As we head into February, I just wanted to look back on a busy and exciting start to the year.
From meeting amazing local charities, speaking to residents in Rushmoor on the doorstep, and hosting a SEND roundtable for local parents, January has been a wonderful month working with our communities across Aldershot and Farnborough!

I know how frustrating it is when trains don’t run on time, or even skip Farnborough and Fleet stations.
So it was great to visit the Basingstoke Operation Centre for South West trains with Alex Brewer For North East Hampshire, raising residents concerns directly with them.
It was a productive meeting and we’ll keep pressing these issues to ensure passenger from our community get the service they deserve.

Great news for our local pubs!
The Government has announced that from April every pub will get:
🍻 15% off their business rates
🍻 A further two-year freeze on their bills
For pubs in Aldershot and Farnborough, this will make a real difference, saving the average pub £1,650 over the next year.
Great to see our Government backing the community pubs that bring people together, support local jobs, and help our towns thrive.

Keeping Britain safe means backing our defence industry.
That’s why I’m campaigning for the UK to join the Defence Security and Resilience Bank – working with our allies to help defence firms in Aldershot, Farnborough and beyond grow, hire and deliver faster.
Supporting our Armed Forces means supporting the workers and jobs that stand behind them.

Great news for Farnborough! I’m thrilled to hear that our town has been listed as a target location for a new M&S food store as they look to expand their network.
This would be fantastic, offering more choice and convenience for our town Successful town centres require the right mix of shops, services, and investment - and this is a perfect example of that.
I will push for Farnborough to be part of this conversation so we can encourage M&S to bring a store to our town.

Great to be out on the doorstep yesterday with our Labour team.
I spoke to one resident who has been left chasing HCC about a blocked drain for months. I am now working with our Labour councillors to get this sorted.
This is exactly why we campaign, listen, and get stuck in on the issues that matter. Local people taking local action!

President Trump’s insulting remarks about the service of British troops are deeply upsetting and the Prime Minister is right to call them out. We in the Home of the British Army will never forget the debt we owe to those who served and sacrificed for us in Afghanistan, standing shoulder to shoulder with our NATO allies. My thoughts tonight are with the families of the 457 service personnel who never came home. ... See MoreSee Less
We will never forget the sacrifices of those who served in Afghanistan.
