George Osborne has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of people with disabilities, by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. Many people in our area would be hit hard by this cut. This petition calls on our local MP to do all they can to stop this cruel and unfair plan. Please, show your support for local people with disabilities and help stop the cuts to PIP.

I'm disabled and I struggle do things that able bodied people do. It's so hard for me and other people with disabilities to manage extra cost like heating the home to keep warm, and general things like have fuel in the car to get myself around. I'll start from the beginning. At the young age of 3 I was shot in the head with an air rifle, which left me with neurological injuries. Due to the way I walk I've damaged my spine and neck and now have arthritis in my spine and neck. I'm in a lot of pain on a daily basis. I take numerous amounts of pain killers including morphine. Not nice. I can walk very short distances aided, but mainly use a wheelchair. Disabled people need a voice: one that will be heard. I'm sick of living in silence. We, as disabled people are a part of the community and do need extra financial help. Stop punishing us.

The budget this week is unfairly hitting the disabled. These are the people that really need our help. I think its really important to everyone in this country. We are a caring & generous country. Helping the less fortunate people should be a priority.

The volunteer Services Grants scheme enables many charities and voluntary organizations to keep going locally to provide essential services for those who are in need of it. Between 30-40 local charities and voluntary organisations will loose the chance to bid for the £366,000 funding to pay for essential costs. Youth services, homeless support and elderly support will diminish and 20 organizations have said that their charitable activities will half and are at risk of disappearing entirely. We need to now stand up for our charities that have given us all a safety net if the worst should happen and sound assistance when us or are loved ones need help.

if these homes and day centres are sold off to private companies, then ordinary people will not be able to afford to put their loved ones in these places, even as council run they are quite expensive, this city and many others in the country ordinary people are struggling to make ends meet, and when a loved one suffers from dementia it is hard to look after them and your family, and knowing that they are cared for and safe takes a great worry off the families who need these services, private companies means shareholders and all shareholders care about is money, and to make a profit, they make cuts in care, staff and wages and employ people untrained in dealing with the elderly and dementia

MCCH Aspirations helps at least 10 citizens of Shepway per day who are recovering from mental health issues, back into work and training. For many this is a life line, providing support in their darkest hour to gain hope to be a contributing member of society once again. They get results too.

Many people working in heavy manual and industrial jobs, and many women who expected to retire aged 60 started working full time aged 16 or less, their life expectancy is generally much less than people who started work later in life. They have also exceeded the maximum number of qualifying years N.I contributions by nearly 50%

Without this funding, two generations are disadvantaged: young parents who want to improve their education and skills, and their children who will also miss out on valuable early years education before age 2.

I had bacterial meningitis when I was 22. I was fortunate to survive. Meningitis & Septicaemia is the biggest killer of under 5 year olds. There is a vaccine to prevent this but parents have to pay for it. Too many children are needlessly dying because the Department of Health has not funded a thorough enough vaccination programme. They and the Government, our employees, need to hear our collective voice and demand this free vaccination
