It was great to roll my sleeves up, tie my hair back and get to work with pupils at Great Academy Ashton to make chicken fajitas!
The students are all participating in the Jamie Oliver programme to help them learn about nutrition and making better food choices.
It was brilliant to see how enthused the young people were and I must say, the end results tasted great!
I was honoured to attend Tameside Together at Dukinfield Town Hall to celebrate diversity and inclusion alongside colleagues and friends.
Tameside Council’s new Leader, Eleanor Wills, led the speeches and my neighbouring MP Andrew Gwynne also spoke at the inspiring event.
The message was loud and clear—hate will never win.
I always look forward to joining in with the Diwali celebrations in my constituency and this year was no exception.
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lees Road is a wonderful asset to the community and I always enjoy my visits.
I spent a lovely afternoon at Lomas Court in Ashton where tenants told me what they love about their homes over a brew and a biscuit.
The extra care supported housing scheme offers independent living for people aged 18 to 55 with physical disabilities.
It was clear to see how happy they all were and it was a pleasure to meet them all.
I try and fit as many local visits in as possible when I am in the constituency.
I loved meeting husband and wife team Jason and Candice Bannister who started Candy’s Cupcakes from their home kitchen in 2011.
They now run a 16 strong team from their unit in Dukinfield. I can confirm that the cakes tasted amazing!
