Thanks @chrismcdonaldmp.bsky.social for highlighting our impact in Parliament.

Visiting Holidays are Fun sessions in Stockton, I saw first-hand how valuable these programmes are for children and families across Stockton, Billingham and Norton.
I was asked to head back to Parliament to fight for further funding so HAF could continue - I did exactly that. /1

I was privileged to meet His Majesty the King at Buckingham Palace and take time to talk Teesside!

I thanked him for his steadfast commitment to the steel communities in Teesside, including to young people and apprenticeships through the establishment of the Industrial Cadets scheme.
