It was a pleasure to have @LeePitcherMP visit #VulcanXH558 to find out about the #STEM education work we do with our partner @beworkwise. We have a positive outlook on our future with the support of Lee and @MayorRos and the City of Doncaster Council.
Incredible day with the @vulcantothesky team, seeing the Avro Vulcan XH558. They hope to see new generations find a passion for STEM careers, inspired by great engineering of the past, to create future innovation. All here in our constituency! @LouHaigh @MayorRos @olivercoppard
