By Jess Brown-Fuller MP Last Friday, I sat down with representatives from the local hair and beauty industry for a round-table event, to hear first-hand about the challenges facing the sector here in Chichester and across the country.    Hairdressers, barbers, and beauty professionals are at the very heart of our high street communities, providing skilled work and supporting wellbeing as an important social outlet. Salons also help to drive much needed regular footfall for ot

Jess Brown-Fuller MP is inviting all primary school-aged children across the Chichester constituency to take part in her annual Christmas card competition. The winning design will feature on Jess’s official 2025 Christmas card, which is sent to community leaders, local organisations and residents across the constituency, celebrating the creativity of Chichester’s youngest artists.

By Jess Brown-Fuller MP This Sunday saw local charity ‘Children on the Edge’ feature nationally as the BBC Radio 4 Appeal. Last week I met with the team to hear more about their work and what the appeal means for them. It’s inspiring to see how a charity making such a difference internationally has chosen to keep its home right here in Chichester.    From providing education for children in one of the world’s largest refugee camps, home to Rohingya refugees who have fled pers

By Jess Brown-Fuller MP Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking to attendees of the Last Friday Club, a network of local small businesses and entrepreneurs who meet each month at Rume2 on Crane Street in the city centre. This free group has been supporting freelancers since 2016, and it was great to hear from the people at the heart of business about both the huge potential they have for growth and the challenges they face.   Jess with local business leaders at the Last Fri

By Jess Brown-Fuller MP As families across the Chichester constituency prepare for the first day of a new school term, I have been preparing for my own return to Parliament! I don’t think I can blame my trousers being tight, however, on a growth spurt; it is more likely to be the result of sampling many delights in pubs and restaurants across the constituency over the summer recess! Jess at a Q&A with Fishbourne Parish Council This time last year, I was still trying to find m

By Jess Brown-Fuller MP Over the weekend, I spent a fantastic afternoon with my family at the Emergency Services Day in Oaklands Park. It was a brilliant event that brought together all the emergency services, as well as the many voluntary organisations that support their work. My family thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope the event becomes a permanent fixture in the calendar. It was great to see residents, especially young people, engaging with our emergency services and learn
