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.

Happy National Fish and Chip Day!
Lovely to pop into Tom’s Fish and Chip Shop to mark the occasion.
We’re lucky to have so many great local spots across Aldershot and Farnborough for a proper Friday treat, and Tom’s is a real North Town favourite. It was great to see the team behind the counter keeping everyone well fed.
Now for the important question: what’s your go-to chippy order?

It was really moving to visit Benedict’s Place, a new initiative supporting young men aged 18–35 in North Camp. Set up by Mark and his wife in memory of their son, the group brings men together through practical projects like furniture restoration, while giving them space to talk and connect.
Spaces like this are so important for young men in our community, and it's heartwarming to see the care and commitment that has gone into getting Benedict’s Place started. A huge thank you to Kim from Fabrica for hosting this wonderful initiative.
If you want to drop by, or know someone who might benefit, they meet every week 👇
⏱️Mondays 4–7pm
📍Fabrica, 103–105 Lynchford Road, Farnborough GU14 6ET

Those who serve our country deserve decent homes, and their families deserve peace of mind.
In the Armed Forces Bill debate, I welcomed the Government’s new housing measures, including a new Defence Housing Service, a wider Defence Housing Strategy and a review of single living accommodation.
Here in Aldershot, the Home of the British Army, 1800 service family homes are set to be upgraded, so these reforms will make a real difference locally.
Our gratitude to those who serve must be matched by action, and I will keep working to make sure these measures deliver for our Armed Forces community. ... See MoreSee Less

My thoughts are with the family and friends of Henry Nowak, whose loss has been felt by people in Aldershot & Farnborough and across Hampshire. The circumstances surrounding his death are gut-wrenching, and his family deserve answers.
That is why I asked the Home Secretary to ensure that Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary had the support and resources to act swiftly and implement the IOPC findings in full, ensuring that lessons around victim recognition, officer judgement and impartiality are acted on.
Our community needs confidence that this will never happen again. ... See MoreSee Less

Lovely to visit the brilliant Rushmoor Yarners today, the team behind the Longest Yarn project, an incredibly knitted tribute to D-Day made by local volunteers and displayed at the Royal Garrison Church last year 🇬🇧
They're now working on something very special for the National Armed Forces Day celebrations we’re hosting on the 27th and 28th of June: honouring the places, people and Armed Forces heritage that make Aldershot and Farnborough so unique.
This is just a little glimpse of what’s to come, alongside a military parade, parachute jumps, flyovers and more. Make sure you grab your free tickets now 👇🔗

I’m campaigning to bring healthcare closer to home for people in Aldershot and Farnborough.
This new Community Diagnostic Centre in Slough shows what is possible: blood tests, scans, x-rays and more, delivered in the heart of town.
That’s why I’m working to secure a centre like this for our community, to go alongside the over £1 billion that’s already going into a new Frimley Park Hospital.
Because local people deserve healthcare that’s quicker and easier to access. I’m proud to be working with a Labour Government who are delivering the investment to make that happen.

☀️ 🫏 My family and I had a fun Bank Holiday afternoon at the Farnborough Donkey Derby. It was lovely to catch up with the team from Rushmoor Community in Bloom and so many other groups showcasing great things happening in our community. My girls also particularly enjoyed the legendary Rotary barbecue 🍔
Thank you to Rushmoor Rotary Club, Rotary Club of Farnborough District 1145 and all the volunteers who worked so hard on a very hot day so that we could all enjoy ourselves in the sunshine. We are so lucky our area has such active Rotary clubs who do so much to bring our community together. They are always looking for new people, so do contact your local branch if you would like to be part of more great days like this in the future.
