Tommy Balaam has been selected as the Conservative candidate for Harefield Ward in the upcoming May 2026 council elections. A proud local dad of twins, Tommy is passionate about building a safe, supportive and thriving community for everyone in Harefield.
Tommy is the founder of Captain Fantastic, the UK’s No.1 children’s entertainment company, which delivers wellbeing-led shows, educational programmes and events to schools and families across the country. His company actively supports children’s charities and local causes, including sponsoring the Harefield Under-8s football team, where his son proudly plays.
Over the past few years, Tommy has brought entertainment to Harefield Primary School and helped organise events such as the Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Harefield Community Centre. His creative background and commitment to local life make him a passionate advocate for the whole community.
Trained at East 15 Acting School, Tommy brings experience in performance, education and public engagement. He’s keen to use those skills to stand up for residents, protect essential services and strengthen community spirit across Harefield.
Outside of public life, Tommy enjoys spending time with his family and, unfortunately for some voters, is a lifelong Arsenal supporter.
