On Saturday, it was a pleasure to join Boscombe Youth Fiddle Orchestra as their founder, Jack, received the High Sheriff of Dorset's Award.
This orchestra has given so many young people confidence, community, and the joy of music, and it was wonderful to see that recognised! 🎻

Today is White Ribbon Day, and it’s a moment to reflect on the role we all play in ending domestic violence, because it's vital #WeSpeakUp.
Before I was elected, I spent years running domestic abuse services, working alongside survivors and frontline workers. I carry their experiences with me.

Empty homes, shuttered shops, and families priced out. Offshoring is hurting Bournemouth now, and it's time to lift the veil on who really owns what.

I was pleased to recently cut the ribbon on the newly reopened The Athelstan Arms, Bournemouth with its brilliant operator Matt 🥳
After a makeover of £420,000+ the pub looks transformed. Here’s to a great new chapter for the pub team, visitors, and local community!

Every child deserves the chance to play — and Rachel Reeves agrees. The Chancellor has been an incredibly strong supporter of investment in playgrounds and Pride in Place, and now millions are being ploughed into play areas across the country 🛝❤️

Richard and Ben from Morebus joined me in the office recently to go through the bus questions residents bring up time and again.

Chef Russ from Pokesdown Community Primary took his school menu all the way to Downing Street, and it was a privilege to be there with him.
He showed the Prime Minister what healthier, fresher school meals can look like when a brilliant chef is given the space and support to do what he does best. 👇

Christmas arrived early at the office today. 🎄
I’ve been looking through the incredible entries to my Christmas card competition. It's safe to say that Bournemouth’s young artists have outdone themselves.
Choosing a winner is going to be very difficult… the elves have their work cut out!

No one should be made to feel unloved or unlovable because of who they are. This Transgender Awareness Week, I want to reaffirm what I said in Parliament: trans people deserve protection, dignity, and respect. 🏳️⚧️❤️

Yesterday, I highlighted the incredible work of the Poole & District Branch of Parkinson’s UK, and the reality faced by Carla’s husband when vital medication wasn’t available in time.
The government must do more to speed up access to support and medication.

Many residents have contacted me with concerns about BCP Council’s plans for land in and around Solent Meads and how it may be used for biodiversity projects.
I’ve raised these concerns with the Council, who have now set out their explanation of the proposals (link below).

Euro 28 is coming home, backed by vital government funding.
I grew up with the buzz of Euro ’96, and I want next summer to bring that same excitement to fans across the UK. This funding will help create a tournament to remember.
Now we just need to put an end to the years of hurt...

I loved spending this morning taking questions from Year 8 students at Avonbourne.
We talked about everything from:
👉 their ideas for a 4-day school week
👉 how to support people who are sleeping rough with compassion
👉 the subjects they want more of in school, like world news

I had a lovely time visiting Asda Castlepoint to meet some of the team fundraising for #AsdaTickledPink.
Since '96, Tickled Pink has raised over £100m to help change the future of breast cancer. It's full steam ahead, thanks to the teams fundraising across Bournemouth—and the UK!

I stopped by The Raw Wall Collective’s exhibition in Boscombe recently and absolutely loved it.
More than 40 early-career artists were showing their work—some for the very first time!—and the room reflected the vast array of mediums and styles of local artists. I’m really glad to have been there.
