Thanks to a fantastic team across the Workington constituency we’ve landed something, in my name and that of the Workington Conservative Association, in front of more than 17,000 households in December alone.
🎄 Over 13,000 Christmas cards designed by local primary school children in a competition, each with an 8-page A5 booklet of Conservative achievements.

✍️ Every entrant received a signed certificate. The winning children all received a gift card and chocolates, but were most excited to receive a copy of their own card signed by the Prime Minister!
📚 7,000 copies of The Snowman book, in two versions, one to every primary school child in the constituency.

🧳 Over 100 hampers of local produce delivered to veterans and serving Armed Forces personnel.

🏆 On top of this, we’ve regularly been towards the top of CCHQ monthly league tables for data collation, and Since the 2019 General Election the Workington Constituency association is in the top 9% for collecting data out of all 353 seats currently held by a Conservative MP.
🙏 Thanks to everyone that continues to play a part in that, I’m really looking forward to smashing it in 2023 💥
💷 Additionally, I pulled in £200,000 to Cumbria Community Foundation to extend the government’s Holiday Activity and Food Programme to families in need across Allerdale who didn’t meet the criteria, and to others in order to de-stigmatise the programme.
Some of that will be going towards Christmas food parcels to vulnerable families being packed and delivered this week.
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ Because I intend to be helping pack and deliver those, as well as completing our own veterans hampers, I probably won’t get chance to come back and wish you all a very merry Christmas 🎄 and a happy and prosperous new year 🍀
