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.

I got to see construction of the new engineering workshop for 9 Theatre Support Battalion REME, being built by KBR Aspire Defence at Mons Barracks.
Delivered as part of the Army’s Future Soldier programme, it will be the most modern workshop facility in the Army when finished in early 2027.
Fantastic to see £19 million invested to build this facility here in Aldershot, ensuring our skilled service personnel have the space and equipment they need, and strengthening the capability our country depends on.
There’s no better place for this facility, and it’s another proud reminder of the vital role Aldershot continues to play in our national defence.

Got something at home that needs fixing? 🏠⚙️
Come down to the Repair Café Yateley this Saturday morning at Yateley Industries, where you can bring something that’s broken and local people will help fix it!
Run by the Yateley Society and staffed by brilliant volunteers from across our community, they can help with everything from upholstery and electronics to household bits and pieces.
It’s a lovely way to meet people, enjoy cake very kindly provided by the Yateley Women’s Institute, and help us all be a bit more sustainable. A huge thank you to the The Yateley Society and all the volunteers who make this such a fantastic local initiative.
📍 Yateley Industries
🕙 Saturday, 10am–12pm

It was lovely to celebrate Victoria Day over the weekend with so many familiar faces from across Aldershot. It might be the wettest Victoria Day I can remember, but the rain certainly didn’t dampen the festivities, especially for my kids, who I was proud to see getting stuck in despite the weather.
From the parades and performances by local schools, to stalls from the Greater Rushmoor Nepali Community, Farnborough and Aldershot Lions Club and so many others, Victoria Day brings together the very best of our community.
It’s more than a great day out. It’s a chance to celebrate Aldershot’s past and present, from Queen Victoria’s role in shaping our town as the Home of the British Army to the communities who make it so special today. A huge thank you to Rushmoor Borough Council for organising, and to everyone who took part, performed, volunteered and came along!

Today we commemorate D-Day and remember the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of all those who took part in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944.
The freedoms we cherish today were secured by a generation who gave everything in the fight against tyranny. Here in the Home of the British Army, we hold that sacrifice close to our hearts. With thousands of serving personnel, veterans and military families living among us, military and civilian life are woven together. We see that service every day and we are proud to honour it. And we know that the legacy of those who came before us and began the liberation of Europe will stand for all time. #wewillrememberthem ... See MoreSee Less

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
