Bringing healthcare closer to home
For too long, too many people in Aldershot and Farnborough have had to travel further than they should for routine tests and appointments. Our towns deserve healthcare that is closer to home.

It's been a real privilege to work with councillor Alex Crawford and see the care and determination he has brought to our community as a Labour councillor.
Across 22 years on Rushmoor Borough Council and five on Hampshire County Council, he has always put residents first:

♻️ Helping protect our Household Waste Recycling Centre
🤝 Standing up for Gurkha veterans and strengthening ties with our Nepali community
🎖️ Working with our Labour team to bring Armed Forces Day home to Aldershot

It was great to pop into Farnborough Football Club last week and speak with Rob and Simon about the club joining the new Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board. 💛💙
After helping to secure £20 million for Cherrywood, we are now moving on to the next stage: bringing together local residents, community organisations and leaders to develop plans for using the funding to create lasting change.
Farnborough FC plays such an important role in our community, bringing people together and building pride in our town, so it is brilliant to have the club helping shape what this £20 million can deliver for our neighbourhoods.The Government recently announced that Cherrywood Ward has been awarded £20 million over the next 10 years through the Pride in Place Programme.
As part of this funding, a Neighbourhood Board has been established, bringing together local partners, organisations and residents to help shape the future of the area.
We are delighted to announce that the club has been offered a place on the Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board.
This will be an opportunity to meet fellow board members, build new relationships, share ideas, and begin developing a shared vision for the future of the area.
Last week, local MP Alex Baker met with CEO Rob Prince and Chairman Simon Gardener to discuss this great new opportunity. ... See MoreSee Less

Having been out with Fouzia on the doorsteps and in our community for months, and seen first-hand the work she does with local charities and organisations, I couldn’t be prouder to support such a brilliant local candidate.
She’s rooted in our community, works hard, and will be a strong local voice for Wellington.
If you want to keep Rushmoor on track, vote Fouzia Khan on the 16th July 🌹 ... See MoreSee Less

This weekend’s Nepal Cup in Aldershot was another powerful reminder of the extraordinary service, sacrifice and contribution of our Gurkha veterans. We must do all we can to ensure they receive the recognition and support they deserve for their service to our country.
Yesterday I asked the new Defence Secretary to build on the progress we’ve made so far so we can urgently resolve the long-standing issue of Gurkha pensions.

It was such a joy to be at the Brigade of Gurkhas Bhela and Nepal Cup in Aldershot this weekend.🇳🇵🏆
Every time I go, I’m reminded what a special event it is. Serving personnel, veterans, families and friends all coming together for military displays, volleyball, the funfair, delicious Nepali food and a brilliant celebration of Gurkha heritage and service.
More than anything, it is a celebration of the historic bond between Britain and Nepal, a bond that runs especially deep here in Aldershot thanks to our Gurkha veterans, serving personnel, and incredible Nepali community.
It was a real honour to welcome some of our newest Gurkha recruits, and to meet more of our Gurkha veterans including the truly inspirational Hari Budha Magar.
A really lovely day celebrating our Nepali community in Aldershot, and another reminder of how special our town is - shaped by service, and by the bond between those who serve and the community they call home.

Great to bring Kanishka Narayan MP, the Minister for AI and Online Safety, to Cody Technology Park to meet some of the incredible businesses we have right here in Farnborough.
A huge thank you to XLB, Vodafone Three, SiXworks, Ark Data Centres and QinetiQ for taking the time to speak with us and showcase their work.
From defence to AI and the technologies of the future, local innovators are doing work that matters for our national security, while also creating jobs, investment and opportunities here in Aldershot and Farnborough.
I’ll keep working with Government, Rushmoor Council and local businesses to back that growth and help create more jobs, training and opportunities for local people, especially our young generation.

Happy 25th anniversary to QinetiQ. 🎉
Born out of the roots of the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough, QinetiQ has spent 25 years helping keep our country safe, developing vital defence capabilities right here.
From DragonFire laser technology to new facilities supporting Royal Navy submariners, their work is another reminder of Farnborough innovation making a national impact.
But their impact is felt locally too. From supporting the National Armed Forces Day celebrations we were so proud to host, to creating skilled local jobs and apprenticeships, and opening up more opportunities for the next generation. 📚⚙️🥼
A brilliant local business, delivering for our community and our country! ... See MoreSee Less

This is Aldershot and Farnborough - told by the people who came together to celebrate it. 🇬🇧🪖
A community proud of our Armed Forces, proud of the role our towns play in keeping our country safe, and proud of the diverse community that makes this place what it is.
This is what we campaigned so hard for when bringing Armed Forces Day home: bringing people together, renewing pride in our towns, opening up more opportunities for the next generation, and building something lasting for our towns.
And I’ll keep pushing for exactly that.
