Well done to Canvey Community Choir for their fantastic concert at St Nich’s last night that raised over £500 for this year’s Mayor’s Charity Fund.

It was a great programme as always and I particularly enjoyed the spirited rendition of National Express!

Today I had the honour of opening a wonderful new charity shop in Thundersley.

Today, Rebecca Harris MP took the Chair of the Thames Estuary Growth Board, Kate Willard OBE, for a tour of Canvey Island.

"At a recent visit to Yellow Door on Canvey Island I was privileged to be asked to present an Outstanding Achiever Award from the Jack Petchey Foundation to local resident Elle Brown."

Rebecca was pleased to attend the packed recent reopening of the Rio Bingo Hall on Furtherwick Road on Canvey.

Congratulations to Doreen for 60 years of service in girl guiding!

It was wonderful to welcome her and other Brownies, Guides & Leaders to Parliament this week, give them a tour round and present her with her award.
