Charlotte Leslie greets Samantha Cameron as she arrives at the Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled

Samantha Cameron rolled her sleeves up on Thursday to join a team of volunteers at the Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled in Henbury. While her husband David was busy preparing for the Sky News leaders’ debate at the Arnolfini in Bristol city centre, Mrs Cameron was helping to paint a new fence.

Mrs Cameron was greeted as she arrived at the centre on Kings Weston Road by Charlotte Leslie, the prospective Conservative MP for Bristol North West.

The pregnant Mrs Cameron was then given a tour of the complex, which is located in 60 acres of beautiful pasture and woodland opposite Blaise Castle Estate.

After the brief tour, she next got to work helping a group of volunteers as they painted a fence around one of the stables as two curious horses looked on.

The volunteers were part of a Conservative party Social Action project. These projects attempt to create social change, with individuals across the country making fantastic contributions to their communities through small-scale, local voluntary action.

Charlotte Leslie is a keen advocate of the Social Action project. She said: “It was a real privilege to welcome Samantha Cameron to Henbury and show her some of the great work that the Avon Riding Centre does.

“The Conservative party’s Social Action project is something that I really feel passionate about and it was brilliant to see Sam roll her sleeves up and support the volunteers.”
