Protect older people from flu - immunise before the winterThe Scottish Government says it wants to: "protect those most at risk from flu in the coming season and to ensure that the impact of potential co-circulation of flu and Covid-19 is kept to an absolute minimum." (Letter from the Chief Medical Officer Directorate dated 7 August 2020) What's actually happening on the ground? The computer programme being used in Greater Glasgow and Clyde sends out appointment letters to over 65s, starting with the youngest age groups and leaving the oldest and most frail people to the last. It was designed for child immunisations, not older people. Many over 65s with underlying health conditions have not yet had appointment letters. They may be having difficulty finding anyone to help them. GPs are only allowed to deal with under 65s (who get a different type of vaccine). This means that most of our older relatives and friends are facing the start of winter without being protected from the flu, and at risk from successive waves of Covid 19 at the same time. We must demand urgent action so that our most vulnerable and frail older people are protected from the flu before the winter arrives90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by K W

Emergency arts and culture fundingIn a global pandemic, funding has been cut for the arts. There are mass job losses and less protection for freelance artists. At a time when mental health problems are arising, therapeutic activity is needed. Hence why Mind charity advocate a ‘Crafternoon’. Arts and culture are an integral part of the UK’s economy and we must respect and install lasting, strategic funding to support the longevity of the creative talent in this country.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca L

Allow prisoners to have mobile phones.Mobile phones are generally 'smuggled' into jails and then sold on to other inmates at prices that are sometimes not affordable leaving them in debt and families on the outside struggling. By allowing each prisoner to have a mobile phone (non internet enabled) they will be able to have more contact with family members. Reports have been done by the IMB in certain jails where they have stated that prisoners should be allowed these and it would help to combat contriband.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John James

Immigration feesI'm not eligible for the immigration scheme because my visa is different and I did apply for Indefinitely Leave to Remain after 5 years route and cost me £2408,20 plus £69.99 for the finger print appointment plus £150 English Test and £50 for Life in Uk test that's mean by total of £2678.19. This is really unfair, I'm working Hospital Porter before the pandemic and during the pandemic and still right now I working hard to save lifes and to assist the Doctors, nurses, sisters. There is a lot of workers have same case like me and the Government doesn't care about us, only care about the Doctors and Scientists, as we are Porters we make difference in the Healthcare services that's Boris Johnson don't know about it.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Faycel B.

Offer prisoners vitamin D supplementsAs Covid cases rise so does the pressure on our hospitals, just when annual winter pressures are also growing. If people stay fitter, NHS staff can be there for those who need their help most. Prisoners have fewer options than most of us to keep healthy, but still use the resources of the same NHS. Vitamin D is important for bone and muscle health, it helps in infection control and plays a part in a range of other vital body functions. Most people get their vitamin D by it being made by the action of sunshine on their skin. It is widely recognised that many people in the UK have low levels of vitamin D. Those who don't have easy access to sunshine - including prisoners - are more likely to be deficient - unless they take supplements. Most people are now recommended by the Government to take supplements all year round. While prisoners are in the care of the Government, Government should offer them supplements to meet their own advice. Vitamin D is cheap and readily available (to those with access to shops or the internet). Some hospitals are now offering supplements to their staff and long term patients. This would be good practice for all hospitals and all employers - and all institutions where people have little exposure to the sun, like prisons. Please help all of us, by supporting this campaign to keep prisoners fitter. Thank you.

Royal Institution-Stop Honouring Slave Owner Now.The Royal Institution has two "Fullerian Professorships" named after John Fuller MP (1757-1834). Fuller was a slave owner and vociferous opponent of abolition using his position as an MP to further that cause.Fuller was a member of the West India Interest a pressure group who funded pseudo-scientific research to show Black people as degenerate and lazy. The money Fuller endowed on the Royal Institution is indelibly tainted by the vile system of slavery, and together with his abuse of science Fuller is a totally unsuitable person for the Royal Institution to "honour".67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Anderson

Stop Tideway Vehicles Polluting Bermondsey KidsThe Planning enquiry into the Super Sewer fully noted the risk of operating in such a built up, residential part of South London, with two schools very close to the site. Some of the properties have been partially protected from sound pollution from the site, but for some others, it was not feasible to upgrade sound protection. A large number of Bermondsey children use Chambers Street and Bevington Street to get to their schools. Engines cause fumes that affect children with Asthma. Covid has affected kids enough, those living nearby need respite from the disruption of light, noise and fumes from the site.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Kandinsky
