  • Plan a new Graduation ceremony for YSJ 2020 graduates
    The decision to completely cancel the 2020 graduation ceremony is not just disappointing, but heartbreaking for all of the students who have worked tirelessly to complete their degrees in the face of the incredibly difficult times 2020 has presented. Give us the ceremony we deserve, in the summer. This may involve adapting celebrations to take place predominantly outside, or restricting the number of guests, but cancelling the ceremony all together should not be an option.

  • Move weddings to the 21st century
    The wedding industry has been hit hard by the covid-19 pandemic....so have all the couples who have had to postpone or cancel their weddings, often at considerable cost financially and emotionally. Some couples would like a ceremony that their loved ones can see whilst they are there to see it (which is acutely the case during a pandemic). Yes we need to give people time to object to ensure the marriages are legal and consentual but there shouldn't be a need to be specific (and pay for each time it is changed!) about the date and time, it isn't a Hollywood film and people aren't going to burst through the doors to object.

  • Change the marketing name of “Kaffir Lime Leaves” to it’s Thai name “Makrut Lime Leaves”
    The word “Kaffir” has roots in the Arabic language but has come to be a racial slur, usually directed at Black African people, around the world. It’s etymology with regards to the fruit and tree is not clear, however it is believed to have racial connotations. Lime leaves are increasingly becoming a cupboard and freezer staple in the UK thanks to the growth in popularity of Thai food on the British isles. The name “Makrut” is commonly used in Thailand and the name is free of any racial or negative connotations. “Makrut” is a more suitable term for our retailers to market this produce under. Britain has a proud history of multiculturalism and anti-racism. Whilst the term “Kaffir” may not be in common usage here, it’s meaning can still be felt by many who reside in the UK. Food is a cultural cornerstone and every dish we eat reflects thousands of years of human history, as well as trillions of years of natural history. It always reflect the movement and integration of peoples, and we can nurture and promote that by giving lime leaves the name they deserve. We can prevent the unnecessary use of an offensive racial epithet by people who simply want to enjoy good food.

  • Reconsider Boris Johnson's plan for Transport for London
    It is going to impact extremely unfairly on all londoners. It will particularly cause hardship to the poorest. It is totally unreasonable to impose such restrictions when the problem has been caused by Londoners following the government's advice to avoid travelling on public transport. According to Sadiq Khan the government lied about tfl's finances. The problem also results from the historical refusal of the government to finance public transport in London at a similar level to other capital cities.

  • Save Our Yoga Communities
    Scotland's physical and mental wellbeing is suffering. Suicide rates are going up and not enough is being done to help freelance group instructors and Yoga businesses who are trying to ease the burden on the NHS AND support NHS workers who need that external support from dealing with the added stress put on them. These sole traders and small businesses are supporting people by helping improve their immune systems with gentle breathwork and physical activity in a safe and nurturing environment, improving physical and mental wellbeing with Meditation and Mindfulness and generally create a support network for those that are more vulnerable including trauma-informed Yoga. These sessions are lifelines to people and without more help and support are at risk of disappearing altogether.
