I was pleased to visit the Maharishi Peace Palace recently – based in Rendlesham. It was a chance to learn more about the work that they do, and their history too.

I recently visited Whitehouse Farm to see more about their diverse business – and to meet their turkeys (can confirm, baby turkeys are adorable….).

I recently visited East Anglia's Children's Hospices - EACH (EACH) to hear more about the incredible care and support they provide to children and their families.

I visited Sole Bay Men’s Shed ahead of their official opening recently to hear more about the brilliant work they’re doing and the difference it’s already making.

I had a brilliant visit to Melton Primary School and Nursery yesterday, and spoke about the SEND issues the school is facing, and had a brilliant tour of the school - led by the excellent Student Council. Thanks for having me!

I recently visited Coldfair Green Primary School and had the pleasure of spending time with the students and staff. It’s always inspiring to see young people so eager to learn and engage with the world around them.

I recently visited Aldeburgh Primary School Avocet Academy and had the pleasure of taking part in their morning assembly. It was fantastic to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm from the students - so many brilliant questions.

3rd and final part of my trip to Odesa, Ukraine - updates on the conference, and a look at strategy and advancement of technology in warfare.

Part 2: Life in Odesa during war. Its remarkable but maybe unsurprising, how normal life feels in Odesa. The resilience of people facing hardship or crisis is always something that inspires me, and this experience of Odesa was a great example of that. The city is rebuilding and building back stronger, in the midst of war.

This week I've had the privilege of visiting Ukraine, for the Black Sea Security Forum - hosted in the beautiful city of Odesa.

Great to visit RNLI Aldeburgh Lifeboat and meet some of the incredible volunteers who give their time to help keep people safe at sea and on our rivers.

A brilliant day at the Suffolk Show - celebrating everything that makes our County so special, from local food, farming and livestock, to crafts, rural businesses, military displays and so much more.

It was a real pleasure to visit A.S.Neill's Summerhill School - one of the most distinctive and historic schools in the UK.

It was great to visit Reydon Primary School and spend time with the team who are working so hard to support their pupils and the wider community.

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rebecca, who has just moved into her first home with her son, in Martlesham. Her home is a brilliant example of good quality, affordable housing, built to help local people either get on the housing ladder through shared ownership, or get an affordable home to rent through Hastoe Housing Association.

I recently visited the The Long Shop Museum in Leiston to learn more about its incredible industrial heritage and renewed importance to the local area. This site helped to shape national (and even international) history through innovation in engineering and manufacturing.

Great to visit Trimley St Martin Primary School recently to see the fantastic work staff are doing to support their pupils, and the all too familiar challenges that they are facing in relation to the SEND crisis.

What an amazing VE-day celebration in Woodbridge today. The town at its best, and such a privilege to hear the stories of VEday from the voices of Woodbridge residents.

It was an honour to be invited to the official opening and ribbon cutting of the new playpark in Reydon last week.
