• Save the NHS, have fun and win!
    We think that politics has long enough done around with unhealthy solutions in regards of the NHS. We feel that many of us, would like to do more for the NHS . Additional funds from the lottery could help everyone. 5 to 10 millions ( or more) a week is a lot of money. So lets set up Mondays a special NHS lottery. Please support this idea, lets have fun, support and enjoy a better funded NHS. Thank you!

  • End Homelessness in the UK
    130,000 people a year in England alone are asking for help regarding homelessness (Shelter, 2017). Homelessness is a matter of social injustice not just personal responsibility, everybody in Britain has a right to accommodation, it is not just a lack of shelter, it involves a deprivation over a number of dimensions, lack of physical and mental comfort, lack of privacy, lack of rootedness in the world and a lack of purpose in life (Somerville, 2013). Even in affordable social housing there is now an uncertainty in security, resulting in an increase in rough sleepers by 102% since 2010. The reason for homelessness is simple, not enough housing,not enough social housing, the ridiculous peak in house prices and the uncertainty of short hold tenancy in private sector housing. This needs to be stopped, we need to stop allowing housing associations and landlords putting vulnerable people out on the streets. Most of us are one wage slip away from being on the streets so help us today to change the lives of thousands of people. Sign today, save tomorrow.

  • Better provision of Affordable Housing
    Over the last 40 years the average home has increased by 43 times, however salaries are not increasing at the same rate. With more and more of young professionals having to raid the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ in order to afford their first home, what does the government intend to do to tackle this?

    This is important because it is used to "train" dogs by fear and pain.

  • We need affordable housing now!
    Affordable homes are not affordable for all, 86% of renters (thats over 6 million households) have less than the £8,800 needed for even a 5% deposit for a mortgage on an average first home in the UK. 95% have less than the deposit needed (£35,354) for a mortgage on an average first home in the UK. Young people especially are suffering, we might not own a home before we're 25, we'll have one by age 30 if we're really lucky. Housing is a human right, and the opportunity to be able to have somewhere secure to live should be accessible to all. This inequality should not be allowed to continue.

  • Get rid of the 'Bedroom Tax' cut to Housing Benefits!
    These cuts are unfair and further disadvantage people who are in a position of need. Approximately 660,000 UK social housing residents have been impacted by the cuts (Fullfact, 2013). This has had significant negative impacts on lives across the UK, leaving thousands of people desperately struggling to pay rent and make ends meet. Hundreds of thousands of residents have gotten into rent arrears, resorted to food banks, and been kicked out of homes they have lived in their whole lives. This is drastically immoral and WRONG. Sign the petition to help us rid the unfair Bedroom Tax!

  • Chechnya Authorities involve families in killing of Gay sons
    This is a clear violation of Human Rights. A country should not be allowed to treat it's citizen's like this and get away with it. It is grotesque. Gay and bisexual men are being rounded up and put in prison camps. They are tortured using electricity and deprived of food. The latest atrocity was reported online by Attitude May 4 2017. One survivor told of how families are being summoned to kill their family members after they have been tortured. They called it "cleaning your honour with blood". One family chose to do it rather than have the authorities kill their son. They took him out into the woods, killed him and buried him there. Can you imagine doing that to your son. It would break my heart. This has to stop. WHY IS IT NOT BEING REPORTED. Please get this out there Channel 4 and help a section of the population find some security and dignity in life.

  • Chechnya - Asylum for Gay Community
    The UK does not currently have a sitting Parliament, however the lives of gay people in Chechnya are seriously threatened by the State, which is now encouraging their families to murder them to save the State a job. This cannot wait for a new government to respond, Putin is doing and will do nothing. We must act now.

  • Provide free sanitary products
    This petition is for the government to provide free sanitary products for females across the UK. This is so that homeless people specifically, are able to access these toiletries with no cost, to help them in their current situation. How is it that with the use of a C-card, UK citizens are allowed to have access to free condoms, but necessities like a pad or a tampon are not, and are in fact, overly priced, as it is classified as a "luxury" product. With your help, we can change that. By signing this petition, we urge the government to be fair to females in struggling situations. Thank You.

  • Change the disabled logo
    It is mortifying to be judged by people when you use disabled spots if your disability is not visible. There are stories of abusive notes being left on people's cars, which is a huge knock to their self confidence, which is often already low. The change of logo would symbolism a inclusive acknowledgment of all disabilities.

  • Virtual parliament at Westminster
    Why spend millions refurbishing Westminster to retain traditions that hinder progress? This is an opportunity for modernisation of process as well as infrastructure. Including virtual conference facilities in the upgrade would allow MPs from outside London to choose between attending debates in person or using a virtual link. MPs would save time and taxpayers money by reducing their travel costs and negating the need for second homes.
