Congratulations to Tina and the team at M24 Arts & Crafts in Middleton for being nominated for my Small Business Awards! It's great to have such a fantastic local business in the area.
It was fantastic to meet with Joe from Bookshelf Burns yesterday at the Alkrington Village Craft Market to present my 2023 Heywood & Middleton Small Business Award.
Today's World Diabetes Day and I'm proud to support the Blue Balloon Challenge.
The campaign raises awareness of what it's like living with diabetes - a constant balancing act. It's like doing everything in your daily life while keeping a balloon in the air.
We will never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our values and way of life. We pause to reflect on their bravery and honour their memory.
Yesterday I honoured the brave men and women who've defended and continue to defend our freedoms by planting a stake in the Constituency Garden of Remembrance.
Thank you to all those brave men and women from Heywood & Middleton. We will remember them.
