▲This year Bev organised a Christmas card competition with children at Seymour Park Community Primary School. Bev visited the school in December to present the winner, Amber Ali, and the runners up with prizes and copies of the printed card.

Happy New Year from Bev and everyone in the Constituency office! Over the past few months Bev has been busy both in her Ministerial role and in the constituency—a few things she has done include:
Visited the Jewish Cemetery in Urmston with the police, to see the recent vandalism first hand
Attended the Remebrance Day service in Stretford
Met Davyhulme Social Club members
Met with staff and students at North Trafford College
Awarded A-level prizes to the Sixth form students at Urmston Grammar as part of their prizegiving evening
Met with the new Chief Executive of the newly formed Trafford Primary Care Trust
Spoke at Trafford Schools’ Holocaust Memorial Day event at Sale Waterside
Attended the election results event for Trafford Youth Parliament
Joined the Voice of BME Trafford at their launch at Old Trafford Cricket Club

◄ Bev visited Trafford General Hospital to meet Edna Robinson, the new Chief Executive, and other staff, to discuss the hospital’s plans for the coming years. The hospital recently opened a Birth Centre where several local babies have already been delivered.

Bev was really pleased to meet with young people from St Monica’s IMPACT Youth Group in Flixton. The group meet weekly and organise various activities. They are particularly concerned about improving the image of young people as presented in the local media and Bev offered her support to assist them in highlighting their various projects in the press.

▲ In her role as both Minister for Children and MP for Stretford and Urmston, Bev visited Woodsend library as part of National Bookstart Day 2006. Bev took part in a Rhymetime event with children from local schools and also presented the children with their Bookstart Treasure Chests, a pack given to every child in the Bookstart scheme which includes books for each child along with various other resources. Bookstart Rhymetimes are free sessions held in local libraries for parents, babies and young children and incorporate songs, rhyme, rhythm and movement.
