South Swindon MP Robert Buckland, is calling for residents to get in touch and nominate a local community hero as part of Volunteers Week 2020.

Volunteers Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering.

Our mental health and our physical health are just as important as each other. That’s why, particularly at the moment, we need to make sure that we, our friends and our family look after our mental health as much as possible.

On Monday the Government published detailed guidance on its Covid-19 recovery strategy.

This Friday we mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day when the Second World War came to an end in Europe.

On Monday I answered questions in the House of Commons on the work that the Ministry of Justice has been doing in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

South Swindon MP Robert Buckland has joined forces with Royal Mail to promote the "Thumbs up for your local Postie" Campaign.  He has asked local children to choose and colour in a picture from the Royal Mail website here: https://www.royalmail.com/thu

Big thanks are due to the overwhelming majority of people here in Swindon for following the Government’s rules on social distancing, in line with the rest of the UK. These measures are working, but if we stop following the guidelines now, we run the risk of increasing the spread of the virus.

I hope that despite the unique circumstances everybody had a peaceful Easter weekend and found initiative ways to keep in touch with friends and family.

We were all shocked and saddened to hear that the Prime Minister, who had been under the care of doctors at St Thomas’ Hospital, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus has been moved into the Intensive Care Unit after his conditioned worsened.

Robert has been acting on behalf of many local residents in the Badbury Park area who believe that they have been mis-sold leasehold properties by Persimmon Homes.
