As the proud patron of her charity, I was honoured to present Mikayla with her well-deserved Points of Light Award from the Prime Minister. It recognises the incredible work that she has done to improve the lives of hundreds of children across England who are bravely battling cancer.
Before I became Children’s Minister, parents and teachers being unable to get the support they needed for children with special educational needs (SEND) in Oxfordshire was one of the top casework issues that I was written to about – alongside housing and planning issues.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day and, on behalf of my constituents, I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust's Book of Commitment this week, honouring the memory of the millions of people killed during the Holocaust and thanking the survivors who do so much to educate us. Never again.
"I was delighted to officially cut the ribbon at the new Barclays Local which will provide local people across Didcot with important face-to-face financial support and education. Thank you to their hard-working staff for making it happen."
I spent part of Friday visiting local businesses that have been affected by the recent flooding, including Mellor’s Garage and Vale Hydrotherapy in East Challow.
