My Weekly Round-up

I’ve met with some great people this week in Parliament and there’s been lots of really positive opportunities to work on some of my campaigns on behalf of constituents. We had our first meeting this Parliament of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer, and I was delighted to be elected Vice-Chair.

My Weekly Round-up

It’s been a week full of meeting wonderful people doing wonderful things for our communities. First, I met with the Samaritans for their Brew Monday and chatted to them about their work.

My Weekly Round-up

We began the week on a rather solemn note as we marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on Holocaust Memorial Day. The appalling crimes of the Holocaust and the millions murdered are a painful reminder of what can happen if we allow prejudice and discrimination to develop into persecution. We must remain vigilant against any attempts to separate members of … [Read more...]

We also … [Read more...]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Christina Rees MP

Instead of sending paper cards this year, I have decided to donate to homeless charities in Neath. These charities have worked tirelessly to tackle the problem of homelessness locally, as well as poverty across the UK. The Christmas season can be a difficult time for many people living in poverty or facing homelessness and it is important to support local action where … [Read more...]
