If re-elected on 8th June I will continue to present overly sized cheques!
I believe that voluntary organisations are the backbone of Gosport's community. I have visited hundreds of charities, community groups & organisations since my election including the Parkinson's group, the homelessness charity Two Saints and the Sea Cadets. I have been interviewed for the Stubbington Talking Newspaper, worked a shift at the Barnardo's charity shop in Lee-on-the-Solent and helped launch both the Gosport's Older Persons Forum and the Gosport Men's Shed. I took part in the launch of the new Gosport Area Information Network and have regular updates with the CAB.
In 2012 and 2014, I completed a skydive and abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower to raise funds for the Gosport & Fareham branch of the MS Society.
I support the work of many organisations in the constituency and regularly visit, offer advice and promote events to help them raise the funds they need.
I have hosted receptions in Westminster to thank local volunteers and charity workers for their hard work.
If re-elected on 8th June I will continue to support our wonderful voluntary sector.
