Stuart Andrew was pleased to lend his support to World Cancer Day, an international day on February 4th every year that raises awareness of cancer and encourages its prevention, detection and treatment.

Stuart has pledged his support for the ‘Big Thank You’ campaign launched by the Leeds Clinical Commission Group (CCG).

Aviva have announced the first winners of their latest Community Fund Competition and they include two projects within the constituency. Farsley Rehoboth and West End Primary in Horsforth have been awarded funds of up to £1,000 for their projects.

Stuart  was recently delighted by the efforts of the Christmas Eve Aldi stores donation of surplus fresh food to local charities. 

The initiative saw 1,181 meals being donated to the constituents of Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough who are in need of help over the Christmas period.

Stuart regularly writes for the Yorkshire Evening Posts column "Life in Politics", which we have shared below. The full article can be found on the Yorkshire Evening Post's website. 

Following on from the #fundnotfail campaign from Together for Short Lives earlier in the year that called for an increase in statuary funding for children’s palliative care, it has been confirmed that an increase in funding has been granted.

After calls from Stuart in recent weeks for a funding increase to be allocated to Leeds, the Secretary of State, Matt Hancock MP, has confirmed the allocation to the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Following on from the hugely successful lights switch on of the Guiseley Christmas Lights on Sunday 25th November, it was Pudsey’s turns to celebrate the start of the Christmas period.

Stuart has called on the Department of Health to approve a funding application for £27 million by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust which is to go towards a new pathology lab.

On 30th November Stuart visited Martin House Hospice, which provides family-led care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions. The Hospice cares for children and their close ones all over Yorkshire.
