Save Wroxall Playground!The equipment in Wroxall playground, located just up the road from Wroxall school, was taken down a few years ago because they were not up to the current government standards. Now we are left with a swing, a balance beam and a mess. South Wight Housing are considering giving a grant to help Wroxall Playground but will only do this if they think that enough people want it. They have said that if we can get people to show support by signing petitions, they will donate money. Please sign! My children would love a local playground and I’m sure yours would too! The playground is situated near an ever growing school so there are a lot of children who could benefit from this area. These areas are widely understood to help children develop physically, socially, cognitively and academically. We could also explore the possibilities of getting some outdoor gym equipment or a skate ramp. Let's use this space instead of leaving it as a an eyesore! Please show your support and help children have this place to play!623 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Anna Hurst

Help bring back Potter’s Raffle PageWe have been running the page since October 2017 raising money for Milestones School. Both of our children have special needs and attend the school. We opened the page to give back to the school who has done so much for us as a family and we are gutted to have been shut down. We had already raised £2,025 for the school which was going towards a much needed update of the sensory room for the early years department. We’d done everything by the book and we’ve got a license as well so we’re quite shocked the page was removed.261 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Christina Potter

Icy playgrounds =broken bones!As a Granny of 3 children at Kelty Primary School I was shocked to see text sent out by Fife Council informing parents that only the entrance to school will be salted..the playground today is like a sheet of Glass and 1 wee girl took tumble landing fully on her face..yesterday a wee boy broke his wrist after slipping on ice ...It is Fife Councils policy to make pupils go out in all weathers at break times so therefore it falls upon them to make the playground a safe environment, Surely!189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Marion Catlady

Help Inclusion Ventures Find A Secure Space on the Percy King EstateAs many of you know, at Inclusion Ventures we offer a range of support to young people aged 7+ and their families. We run a number of our sessions from Coppins Hall Community Centre in the 'Base' room, in the last six months alone we have been running up to six sessions a week from the centre supporting around 15+ children in each session. We had a re-launch of the Inclusion Ventures space back in March this year, where the staff and the children took on the task of making the room into a safe, welcoming and home from home type environment. Being at the centre of this estate our sessions have been used to meet the needs of the community, we have offered from these sessions a variety of support. Support includes: -Emotional Support - Mentoring -Sports Activities - Arts and Crafts - Drama - Music - Relationship Building, -Health eating -Restorative justice -Employment -Family Support -We also know that healthy eating is a big concern of many of the parents of our young people so we also use these sessions to provide healthy meals free of charge. For the time being we will continue to support our young people as we know they are the most important people in all of this and will unfortunately be the most affected by this change. We will be providing out reach services and offering trips to local organisations at the times when sessions would have been on whenever possible. This petition will be a vital way of showing funders and the local council that Inclusion Ventures needs a space of its own within the Percy King community in Clacton to fully meet the needs of our young people. So we need your help! Please could you sign the petition and leave any feedback you have about the services and the need for Inclusion Ventures to continue being a part of such a fantastic community. We are so sorry that this is happening and for the inconvenience it will cause. Please be assured that all of the Inclusion Ventures team are working hard to get this issue resolved. You can contact us on 01255 688685 for any further information or concerns.127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Inclusion Ventures

Increase in funding for children's mental healthThere is a young 8 year old boy called Jack who was admitted to Alder Hey Children's Hospital on the 25th October 2017, SEVEN WEEKS AGO. Jack lives with autism and has mental health issues; extreme low self-esteem, suicidal. Jack has recently had a severe mental breakdown - hence the stay at Alder Hey Hospital. Jack was assessed as a tier 4 and has been waiting in hospital for a bed to come available in a children’s unit, for SEVEN WEEKS. Jack or his family have been offered no support from CAMHS in the past seven weeks. This is the reason why; Jack has been assessed by the Tier 4 team(in-patient CAMHS unit) and is waiting on an inpatient bed becoming available. This means they cannot work with Jack in his current environment (Alder hey hospital) only once allocated a bed within a unit, So, Jack does not fit the CRITERIA for tier 3 support (community), and can not access the tier 4 support until he is an inpatient in their unit. It is imperative that the government increase funding for children's mental health to prevent this level of waiting time and the dangerous gap that exists between accessible support in a crisis.2,368 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Julie Awang

Keep school breakfast clubs openThis is a necessity for parents and kids who use it. It allows parents to work, look after younger and/or disabled siblings, and helps kids interact with other kids outside their regular daily surroundings. Closing these clubs would be detrimental to our children and have a massive negative effect on social economic development. This will also put costs up for families having to seek other means of childcare.1,063 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Pamela McCabe

Get dangerous malm drawers recalled in the UKI have just seen yet another post on social media of a child very badly injured after these drawers have fallen on them. Luckily the child escaped this time, however how many more children need to be injured or even to loose their life, before these dangerous drawers are recalled worldwide!180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Vanessa Willis

save families first Johnstone,Foxbar,Gallowhill RenfrewshireFamilies first Johnstone, Gallowhill, Foxbar Renfrewshire provide lots of support assistance and guidance to families in johnstone/ Renfrewshire! These ladies are like nanny McPhee in the sense if you need them they are there!! 😁 They bring communities together and help families thru tough times weather it's providing a listening ear, or giving financial advice to even helping service users get back into work! Many families face challenges on a daily basis and they are there in a crisis to offer support and help families grow in confidence to push thru the hard stuff!! They also run workshops and fun clubs for our children encouraging families to get out learn new skills and meet other people essentially they take away some of the loneliness sometimes many parents face and give our children something to look forward too! if this service was withdrawn from our community there essentially would be nowhere for families to turn too for advice support assistance in a crisis, there wouldn't be any of these clubs for our children, essentialy the heart of the community would be lost! These ladies deserve a Pay rise but instead are faced with losing their jobs, but if we stand together maybe we could turn it around for many more years to come, save our families first Johnstone!! 😁👨👨👧👨👨👧👦👩👩👧👦👩👩👧👨👩👧👨👩👦👦568 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Donna woods

The club caters for a wide range of disabled people who have competed at a high level in disability competitions which has improved their lifestyle and confidence generally, but it is not just our Club who use the centre, there are numerous other groups and organisations that use the Centre on a weekly basis (Forth Valley Gymnastics, three different Cheer Leader and Dance Groups, weekly Yoga Sessions, two different Ju-Jitsu Clubs, two different Taekwondo Clubs, Karate Club, Balintawak and the main hall is booked most weekends for birthday parties and various other events. This is a busy centre with some weeks up to 1,000 people entering the centre. Could everyone please get behind this petition.
