Fund Inner London's only Disability GymAbility Bow is the only place in inner London that provides long term rehabilitation to help people who have a disability, an injury or a long-term health condition. For many it is be a life-changing experience. There are thousands of people that Ability Bow has helped over the last 10 years. Margaret is a stroke survivor who regained near full use of her body after doctors wrote her off. Albert had a spine broken in two places and learned to walk again. There are hundreds of stories like these here. We are asking for the assistance of a government partner to safeguard the future of this vital service. I do not know where I would be without this place. I started this campaign to raise awareness and make sure that people get the help they need to improve their lives.7,838 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Richard Amm

Reverse the decision to force Margaret McEwan into a care home82 year old Margaret McEwan has, since being discharged from Lennox Castle Hospital 20years ago, lived within a family setting supported by a team of carers. Glasgow City Council (GCC) Social Work Department have decided that Margaret's needs would be better met in a care home. Margaret has complex learning disabilities and is non verbal but she is familiar with her current care team and her daily routine within a loving family setting. She enjoys regular outings and holidays abroad. Margaret's needs can, and are, being met in her current care setting and, indeed, are no greater than many people being supported at home throughout Glasgow and Scotland as a whole. GCC's decision to move Margaret to a care home is purely financial and could be considered inhumane. She is 82 years old and in failing health. GCC should reverse the decision to place Margaret in a care home, away from all that is familiar to her. She should be allowed to live out her remaining time in the only home she has ever known, as part of the family who have taken her to their hearts.1,057 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Irene Macpherson

Keep the St John's Wood Post Office openThe Crown Post Office on Circus Road serving St John’s Wood is set to shut down or be taken over by a private company. It has been identified as 1 of 42 loss-making main Crown branches in the UK. It is currently on the market as a franchise meaning a private company could take it over and run it. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said the changes are not necessary as the Post Office is due to break even this year. It added that the move is being forced through in a bid to make a £10 million turnover by the end of 2018. CWU rep Huw Davis said: “It’s early days but it’s an outrage where we’ll see many job losses. They want to make £10m by ridding those they say are losing profits, looking at staffing costs and buildings. Somehow the St John Wood’s Post Office has become part of that. The services, whether you get them in WH Smith or in a shop is not as good as what you get from dedicated staff who have worked there for many years. I hope the public will fight against this privatisation.”540 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Paul Dimoldenberg

2 Free Hours Parking At Peterlee HospitalThe last thing people need to worry about when attending a hospital emergency or appointment is if they can pay for parking! Due to the current charges, parking in nearby streets is causing a danger to other road users and residents.477 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Watson

Save the school crossing patrols in Bristol.Bristol City Council are thinking about cutting 80 school crossing patrols across Bristol. Worse still, it could mean children all over Bristol will be in danger when they walk to school. Bristol's lollipop men and women get up first thing in the morning to go out in the freezing conditions and help and protect Bristol's children. They do a vital job for our city and this must continue. The council are currently running a consultation on this so we have a real chance to tell them how much school patrols matter to us.2,013 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Lee

Protect the rights of vulnerable children and care leaversParts of the Children and Social Work Bill allowed councils in England to be excused from their legal duties to provide for and protect vulnerable children and young people for up to six years. These protections have built up over 80 years and include many key laws passed by Parliament. They give vital rights to children living in their own families, including disabled children and young carers; children living in foster care, children’s homes, residential schools and custody; and young people leaving care. On 8 November, the House of Lords voted to remove these parts of the Bill (the Government was defeated by 245 votes to 213). Our petition was mentioned twice in the debate. The Government then tabled amendments and used its majority in the House of Commons Committee to reinstate the clauses on 10 January. The Committee had issued a call for evidence in December. 47 organisations and individuals submitted evidence; only one supported the clauses (44 opposed and 2 more expressed concern). Seven parts of two Acts of Parliament were saved from opt-out in January (the Government selected these as 'core legal duties'). However, this leaves at risk every other legal protection for vulnerable children and young people. The Government says the exemption clauses will encourage innovation, but we fear the loss of essential services and support for children and care leavers by cash-strapped councils. There has been no public consultation and no evidence produced by the Government to support its plan to offer up for abolition virtually every legal duty made for vulnerable children and care leavers since 1933.109,008 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Carolyne Willow

Save Bolsover HospitalThis hospital has been slowly 'run down' by the closure of two wards and now the CCG want to completely close it. This is part of a review of services provided in North Derbyshire which include the closure of other community hospitals. This review is titled '' Better Care Closer To Home'' , however many of us do not believe that the planned changes will work and that patients will receive a poorer service. The plans have been put to public consultation HOWEVER the CCG have NOT notified all households to publicise this as promised , hence many do not know of the proposed changes which include providing care in nursing homes and the patients own home. Meaning family will be involved in the care role, rather than a community hospital following discharge from the Royal Hospital. This hospital provides a service to Chesterfield residents ( not just those of Bolsover) so the result of the closures will be felt by many. More information can be found at : http://www.joinedupcare.org.uk Thank you for your interest.648 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Angela Blair

DyspraxiaI want them to have a debate on dyspraxia and I will cripple and it is to people suffering from this condition. Plus I want them to treat it as a separate condition completely independent of dyslexia I would like to see a low where it makes educational establishment such as universities and schools. Because at the moment the educational establishment say a lot of it is the same as dyslexia. But this condition has many more parts to it than dyslexia. I find in many educational institutes that they fail to treat dyspraxia raise a different condition.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Royston Carlmain

Save Knottingly Sports CentreTo continue with existing health benefits that a sports centre provides to local people. If this centre closes then the nearest one will be over an hours travel away via two busses. People will simply stop going to sports centres. Besides that I have a child with special needs who uses the centre three times a week. Taking this centre away from him and his friends will do more than simply take away their sports centre. It is their main chance to socialise and spend time with friends.290 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Adele Plumb

Calverton BMX Track Idea Needs Your Support!A rusty, dangerous and abandoned skate park sits on the park. A BMX track would be a perfect project for this area. Making the park a place where people can ride/race BMX. This would give kids through to adults a new experience.With local success from Connor Williams racing BMX in the British BMX championship this year. A track would be recognised as a home track for him and others that race from Calverton for training and potentially racing. A BMX track would bring people from all around the midlands and the country to race. Also there is a lot of interest and support from other local residents saying this would be a great idea giving the younger generation something to do and keeping them off the streets. With Hucknall and Bulwell having a track already why can't Calverton.
