Here are some of my recent diary events.
Thanks to the Saints Foundation and all the young people taking part in NCS Southampton for sharing with me the fantastic projects they have been working on to raise awareness and funds for the Saints Foundation and for those impacted by the Afghanistan crisis.

Well done to Southampton Children's Play Association for putting on a remarkable Playday at Hoglands Park!

I spoke with Vivian, who kindly shared with me, her experience of caring for her husband and of the work she does as part of [...]

Their trip to Number 10, to meet the Prime Minister and plant a tree in the garden, was a fitting reward to staff and pupils who go out of their way to [...]
Couldn’t be happier to be with the Remarkable Bert Warne, former Far East Prisoner of War, when he received his Freedom of the City of Southampton. Congratulations Bert.
