Michelle Welsh MP

Member of Parliament for Sherwood Forest

I’m Michelle Welsh, the Labour Member of Parliament for Sherwood Forest.

​

I was born and raised in Nottinghamshire, and my roots here shape everything I do in Parliament.

​

Before being elected to Parliament in 2024, I served our community as a councillor and have worked in education, adult social care and local government. Those experiences gave me a deep understanding of the challenges and strengths of our local communities - from supporting families and improving education to strengthening local services.

​

In Westminster, I’m focused on tackling health inequalities and improving maternity care through my work as the Chair of both the All-Party Parliamentary Groups on Maternity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

​

My approach to politics is simple - I believe in service to my constituents, fairness, and giving a strong voice to local people. Every decision I make is guided by that commitment to making life better for our communities across Sherwood Forest and beyond.
