Following the Government advice, all masjids and other faith-building and community centres are closed due to COVID-19 to help stop the spread of the contagion in the community and society at large; support social distancing for medical reasons; and to make all necessary efforts to safeguard people; flatten the curve and fight this virus. Most local community masjids and other faith buildings rely on voluntary donations from the regular congregation and attendees to survive and carry on – obviously, that is not possible in the current circumstances. These places not only help the community regardless of circumstances and challenges but also provide a place of comfort, solace but also supporting the wellbeing and welfare of its attendees. Under the COVID-19 challenge, places of worship are under increasing pressure to support the vulnerable in their locality and beyond. The rent-relief, only for the duration of this pandemic, a national emergency, will help the places of worship, faith and community centres. We urge the Council and decision-makers to support these local places in Tower Hamlets - and other local authorities across the country to follow this course of action urgently. We must bring everyone together and do whatever is necessary to support the community, support the vulnerable and fight the COVID-19 virus.

There seems to be tremendous inequality in English league football, with players who receive £350,000 per week in salary at the top, down to players who might receive £750 per week at the bottom - almost 500x less! Such dramatic inequality in salary is abhorrent in any organisation, and there is a moral duty on players who have benefitted so dramatically in financial terms from the game, to offer help and support to those who are unable to cope in the current crisis.

When cleaners are present at work like hospital, care homes, schools offices the work environment is safe and hygienic and ensure other workers eg.doctors, nurses, carers, teachers etc can do their work.

People are already living in debt. The implications of the covid-19 pandemic mean that more people will be even worse off. Banks should of course be allowed to charge for borrowing, but with interest rate slashed to an historic 0.1%, it's not so easy to justify a flat rate of 40% apr.

Doctors and Nurses are at the forefront treating those infected with the Coronavirus. They are risking their own health and well being, some sadly have already died due to the Coronavirus. They do not stop going to work, they do not stay in the safety of their homes. The Med. students accumulate substantial debts, due to the five arduous years spent at Med. school. They then spend their chosen profession caring for people, from cradle to grave. My son and many of his friends qualified as junior doctors last July; he has more friends qualifying this summer, they are young people who are risking their lives to save yours. Please show all the Doctors and Nurses how grateful we are, sign this petition to get their student loans cancelled.

This is important so we can carry out our duties as key workers and not have to worry about getting our children looked after by granparents or having to stay home to look after our family which of course is going to come first. There are not many couples that work in the same sector which you are now expecting. For keyworkers to be able to carry on working this needs to change to one parent as a keyworker Unless the other is out of work.

Due to the outbreak of Corona virus, many people are forced to stay and work at their homes. This means that their energy usage will increase. But for some people, like those on zero hours contracts or self employed, who are already left in a difficult financial situation, this could mean to not having the means to pay for their energy. Ivana, a self employed single mother of three is now worried. Schools are closing and her young children will be staying at home without any heating or electricity as she doesn't have money to top-up her meter, once her emergency credit of £5 is used up. Energy companies should provide help for people like Ivana, by offering extra emergency credit, payment breaks or free energy.

The BBC are going to produce daily exercise programs for older people in response to the covid-19 crisis. Mr Motivator is the man to do this.

Boris Johnson this week issued a ' 'request' to bars, cafés, clubs, cinemas, theatres and music venues and all entertainment businesses and schools that they close in view of the Corona Virus emergency. However shopping centres, and non essential shops are remaining open. Putting both retail workers and the public at risk of contracting the virus. These are also busy public spaces which are hard to maintain social distance .

Many elderly and disabled/ chronically ill people have been relying on home deliveries for their own everyday nutritional and personal hygiene needs. Due to widespread panic buying, it has become increasingly difficult to secure a delivery slot within a reasonable time frame, so that many people in these vulnerable groups are currently facing not only the prospect of loneliness over the coming weeks and months, but the very real possibility of running out of basic groceries and over-the-counter medical supplies. Please sign this petition and help to ensure that the most vulnerable members of our society don’t get overlooked during this pandemic. 🙏🏻

To stop the spread of Coronavirus everyone must act, by helping taking away the fear of paying bills people will feel less guilty and reluctant to not go to work where possible.

It poses a serious threat to the wellbeing and lives of babies.
