It is heartwarming to see so many people of all backgrounds and all walks of life standing peacefully together in solidarity against racism, Islamophobia and violence. We are indebted to our brave police officers who put themselves in harm’s way to keep our communities safe.

It was great to meet the NFU at an event in Houses of Parliament recently. Proud to be supporting our farmers and our nation's food security. @nfupolitical

👪 Local families with children with complex care needs are finding it challenging to get them the support they need as they move to adulthood. 💡 I spoke with local parents, Tom and Ian who are inspired by the Linden Farm Project and want to support Hertfordshire similarly.

📜 Congratulations to all those who got their A and AS Level, T Level or Level 3 VTQs results today! 🙌🏻 Whatever the result, I know you're moving on to great adventures! 🤞🏻 If it wasn't quite the result you wanted, the right opportunity will open up at the right time.

Delighted to join a Holiday Activity Programme (HAPpy) club in Berkhamsted at the Swan Youth Centre. They provide physical activity, enrichment, and healthy meals. They've been a holiday lifeline for parents & children but they suffer from a lack of long-term funding. 🏃😁👪

A fun election chat from Gail's, highlighting more important points: ☕ I love supporting our great local businesses first, and we have many of those! 🫂 Many local people and families are struggling including getting the services and care they need. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

👏🏻 A massive well done to Phoebe Gill - who went to our very own St Georges in #Harpenden St George's PE bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great to chat to local Harpenden charity The AT Society, supporting families with the rare degenerative disease Ataxia-Telangiectasia (AT). We talked about the support they deliver and the challenges families face every day. 👏👏👏 hemeltoday.co.uk/news/people/vi…

Last week, I talked with Liam Fitzpatrick from the Herts Advertiser, to look back on my first month in Parliament! It's been an amazing experience so far and it's been an honour to meet so many people from across our great community!! hertsad.co.uk/news/24506649.…

#coffeewithcouncillors in Berkhamsted last weekend. Always a pleasure!! ☕🍰

😎 To finish off summer before I head back to Parliament, we've been preparing a Listening Tour across Harpenden & Berkhamsted. 📢 If you'd like to fill in the residents' survey and I haven't knocked on your door yet - it can be found at: victoriacollins.org.uk/survey2024

Day 2 of the listening Tour was about #Tring & #Aldbury! What a wonderful day diving into local issues, hearing from community leaders and finally visiting the beautiful Tring Mural. If I didn't get to your door today, my residents survey can be found at victoriacollins.org.uk/survey2024

Heading out today to talk to organisations and local people in #Berkhamsted! It was a real honour to visit the St Francis Hospice, now as a patron. Let me know the issues that are important to you here victoriacollins.org.uk/survey2024

What a fantastic day out in #Markyate #Flamstead and #Redbourn talking about healthcare, community, and local business! victoriacollins.org.uk/survey2024

Lovely to be out and about canvassing in Aldbury! Lots of great conversations and thanks to the team for all your help!

A great Friday in #Wheathampstead, #Sandridge and #JerseyFarm! P.s. thank you to Andrew who highlighted the Wheathampstead phone box with heritage trail leaflets and a beautiful mural on the ceiling victoriacollins.org.uk/survey2024

Wonderful to meet local Tring artist, Meredith Hepner-Chapman, who has transformed a local underpass into a work of art with help from the local community. Looks amazing!

Yesterday I visited the team at Ashridge Estate Visitor's Centre to hear about all the great work they are doing in managing our natural resources, before stopping off at Cedar Village Shop in Potten End for a delicious coffee. 🌳☀️🦌☕

Back to Parliament! Ready to bring local campaigns to the national stage!

🤝 As the health and social care crisis continues, I'm asking for cross-party talks on social care. 🩺 Yesterday we had a Westminster Hall debate on Health provision in the East of England - the diagnosis is dire and we must take care seriously.
