The charity Together for Short Lives warns children's hospices in England will be forced to cut services or shut unless the NHS increases its funding. According to Together for Short Lives, children's hospices in England each spend an average of £3.7m per year - which works out as a total annual spend across the country of £125m. Their spending has increased by 4.5% since 2016/17, it said. But the percentage which the state contributes has fallen from 27% to 21% in five years, the report said - and hospices have been forced to use their reserve funds or stop services (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk) This is a terrible indictment of the welfare state under this government where hospices for sick children are severely underfunded, leaving them to seek funds from ordinary people often performing feats to raise money to support hospices. This is the role of government in a civilised and human society where sick children in this situation deserve dignity and humanity from the state in their sadly short lives. The Secretary of State should act now and at the very least increase the percentage of funding his department contributes to hospices to its previous level and show it has some humanity when it comes to supporting organisations looking after very sick and dying children.

We need to reduce waste in this country, canned multipack goods, the cans are recycled the plastic wrap isn't.

A hospice gives treatment no other place can do I lost my wife who sadly died in a hospice but she was happy there and came to terms of what was going to happen to her it was a pleasant place for her to go and would defend it if I had to if it was going to close.

Our moral compass is being skewed by apparent trade deals with our international operations, we have blood on our hands.

After waiting for a paediatrician through my doctors referral service after 4 months, my son was refused by Barts health Specialist childrens service. The problem is my sons panic attacks and lack of sleep, my wife and I are very tired and 4 months ago we visited our Doctor to get help. We were told she could not help and that we needed to see a paediatrician as they are the only ones who can help us (in case we needed medication) but as they have refused to see our son I need to see if other parents are having the same issues as me and my wife namely that my son cannot get any help with his medical condition.

These are crime spots and people are being mugged and sexually assaulted daily, 25% of crimes on the LU are committed on the Central Line. CCTV cameras could serve as a deterrent. If a crime is committed at least there will be cameras to show the perpetrator or what crime was committed

This is effecting the educational choices of many students.

If you watched the prgogramme on BBC last night you will already know why! We don’t need these but if we are going to use them let’s make them without plastic. This is so important in the fight for our planet.

Vitally Impoertant. To cut down on plastic, on waste, and create less micro plastic particles in the air and water which is already getting into the food chain from cellular creatures, and on up into fish and Humans.

Weed has grown in the Round Pond of Hyde park to a level that is both unsightly and makes model yachting in the pond impossible. Model yachting provides a much needed outlet for keen sailors to practice their sport in central London. This accessible sport allows the less able bodied and wealthy of all ages, genders and ethnicities to find diversion and pleasure on the water. The loss of the pond as a sailing venue is extremely disappointing to participants and the multitude of spectators alike. Little effort is required to restore joy to so many lives.

Many foods in super markets contain hidden sugars when explicitly saying they are unsweetened. For example some Supermarket unsweetened Almond Milk contains Maltodextrin which has a higher Glycemic Index than Golden Syrup. However it doesn't end there. Nearly every processed deli-meat has Dextrose in it. And doesn't end there either. Nearly every food item in supermarkets these days contains hidden sugars. The result is more people becoming obese even when trying to eat a healthy diet. The nation is suffering from a fatty liver epidemic that is creating type 2 diabetics and the thing is this can be avoided if people are educated via correct labelling to make the right choices. Some people are resisting. There are those who eat a Ketogenic, Carnivore or Vegan diet who stay clear from any additives but unknowingly also fall victim time to time by misleading advertising. Health professionals such as Dr David Unwin are shouting through the roof tops about the diabetics epidemic but the real scream comes from liver. Urgent action needs to be taken and it will only happen when enough people call the supermarkets out on polluting the nations health.

This is important because we as a species, need to act together to fight against climate change, the biggest challenge the world has ever faced. We need to act together against this as communities and as a human race. One thing to we can do to fight against this is the plantation of trees. Beechwood park is a local park in Newport that has a lot of space for trees to be planted. We need to take this moment to plant more trees against this major threat! This park can be one of many to plant trees and ensure that it's doing its best to fight climate change.
