Huge congratulations to the young people across Aldershot and Farnborough who have received their GCSEs, BTECs, A-levels, T-levels and vocational qualification results. Every young person should be able to develop the skills they need and be given the same respect for the route they choose.

I was honoured to attend the memorial service marking the 86th anniversary of the Battle of Britain at North Camp Methodist Church, organised by the RAF Association Farnborough and Aldershot Registered Members Group.
It was especially moving to hear the Mayor of Rushmoor, Cllr Peter Cullum, speak at this year’s service as an RAF veteran himself, remembering the courage and sacrifice of those who defended our skies and our freedom.
Here in Aldershot and Farnborough, that history of service and national contribution runs deep. Farnborough grew from the pioneering work of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, while Aldershot is proudly the Home of the British Army. Service and sacrifice aren’t just part of our history – they’re something we feel in our towns every day.
It was wonderful to see so many RAF Cadets parade after the service, carrying such an important tradition forward for another generation. ... See MoreSee Less

It was so special to welcome Rushmoor Borough Council, community organisations and sponsors to Parliament this week to thank them for making National Armed Forces Day possible.
What we created together here in the Home of the British Army was truly incredible, bringing our community together to celebrate those who serve. From young people meeting cadets and personnel to veterans marching down Queen’s Avenue, it was a weekend to be hugely proud of.
Now we want to build on that legacy. Armed Forces Day was not the end, but the beginning of something we can continue to grow together.

Lovely to be at the Hawley Rooted Together Community Festival yesterday, celebrating 10 years of Hawley Community Garden!
It’s great to see this community-led that’s been looked after and brought to life by local people over 10 years - and now we have the chance to do something just as exciting in Cherrywood.
We’ve got £20 million of Pride in Place funding from the Government for Cherrywood ward - and it’s local people who decide how that’s spent.
So fill out the survey, get involved, and help shape the future of Cherrywood. 🔗👇

This summer I had some really insightful conversations with my latest cohort of work experience students from The Sixth Form College Farnborough , who spoke to me about how hit and miss democratic education can be across local secondary schools.
So I asked the Government what more we can do to make sure everyone leaves secondary school with the knowledge and understanding they need to make their voices heard, helping more young people engage in our democracy.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s glad to get my kids back into the school routine this week. Between holiday clubs and finding activities for the kids, the summer holidays can be an expensive time for parents. That’s why the Government is taking action to ease the pressure on families in Aldershot and Farnborough as children head back to school:
🍎 Nearly 4,000 in our community can get FREE SCHOOL MEALS from this September.
👔 We’re LIMITING the number of branded school uniform items parents have to buy to a maximum of 3.
The Government is giving families less to worry about this September and making sure every child has what they need to thrive at school, so they can focus on what matters most - learning!📚

‘Nepal has been there for Britain in our hour of need and we will be there for Nepal in its hour of need.’
A strong statement from the PM offering both financial and emergency support to the authorities to aid search and rescue operations following the devastating flash floods across the Nepal-Tibet border.
The longstanding friendship between our two nations has always been incredibly important, as we understand so well here in Aldershot. It is right that we stand with Nepal during this incredibly difficult time.
