  • We want prescription tranquilliser support group in Birmingham
    My husband who has been housebound for over 2 years is an involuntary benzo prescription addict in withdrawal and as research has shown would benefit from talking to others like him in this city. Other cities have this support but Birmingham hasn`t and the Cross City CCG has the power to helpbut only helps illicit drug users not prescription addicts like Phil. There are an estimated 250,000 prescription benzo addicts in England and The Cross City CCG has the 4th largest population in England so there must be many benzo prescription addicts like my husband and sharing their strategies to deal with the neuropathic symptoms will help.Phil has had no contact with anyone in this city ;he has to phone charities in Bristol, Oldham and Bradford . Birmingham is described by them as a disgrace .Help is urgently neededand the CROSS City CCG can easily identify others like Phil. This was done in Oldham in 2004.Please help to get our CCG to act.

  • Show disability sports on television all year round
    We feel that there needs to be an equal opportunity for developing disabled athletes as well as other fans to watch their favourite disability sport on a more regular basis aside from the Paralympic and Invictus Games. There are endless amounts of events that do not get any media coverage, which should, to assist in doing exactly what the London 2012 games intended to do ''inspire a generation.'' Without the media coverage on a more regular basis, how can budding Paralympian's have sporting role models to look up to and aspire to be like how can these young people be expected to develop without being able to see how disabled professional athletes play their chosen sport. Not just this but there are endless possibilities to the positive effect that having disability sport on TV week on week will have, not only to inspire the next generation of young people to take up different sports but it will have a positive effect across the board of society, from the young and developing players right through to the high profile developed Paralympian's themselves. Most importantly how can a generation of Paralympian's be inspired by events that only happen every two - four years.

  • Reduce Loneliness by introducing intergenerational nursery classes
    Throughout my Human Geography degree at Gloucester University I have specialised in learning about the worlds ageing population. An increase in the longevity of people’s lives alongside a declining birth rate has resulted in an ageing population. This means many practical problems have evolved. For example there is an ever increasing strain on healthcare, sheltered housing and an increase in the dependency ratio. An increase in the older generation means the dependency ratio in turn increases; the working section of a population is put under pressure to provide, mostly through taxes for the older generation. However, social stress is occurring which cannot be solved by money alone, there is an ever increasing issue of loneliness within the older generation. Loneliness is a complex and usually unpleasant emotion, which typically includes anxious feelings about a lack of connectedness or communality with others. Loneliness can get into every pore of an elderly persons life and can have detrimental effects. I believe it is a very sad reflection that when people are most in need they feel the most abandoned. However, I want us to work together as a community to create a long term and sustainable solution for loneliness in Cheltenham, this would occur by bringing nursery age children into old peoples homes on a regular basis. The two generations would complete activities together which will have benefits for both (as seen on Channel 4 program 'Old peoples home for 4 year olds')

  • Abolish gender-specific job titles
    Currently, in the UK, there are hundreds of thousands of people who do not identify as male or female or do not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. An estimated 42% of these people do not live in their preferred gender role because they feel they will lose their jobs, and 35% of these people have attempted suicide at least once due to abuse as a result of their gender. These people need to feel like they are able to be in the gender role they feel they belong to, and not live in a gender which they do not feel right in just because of fear that they will lose their job or receive abuse because of this. Currently, many jobs have gender-specific titles which can only apply to males or females, for example, 'midwife', and 'waitress' or 'waiter'. People in these jobs feel uncomfortable coming out as non-gender binary as they think they will not be welcome in these jobs anymore. Changing the names of these jobs so that they are non-gender specific will make people who are non-gender binary feel more comfortable in their situations and it will open up more opportunities for them where they feel limited due to their personal gender opinions.

  • Equal Consideration for Women in Sport in England
    It's important for the future development of girls and women's sport. Ultimately for all sport in our country. It's about gender equality and opportunities. Girls need positive roles models like boys do in all aspects of life. Sports enables development of confidence, teamwork and skills. It's also fun but not if you have to fight at every step to access opportunities readily available for boys and men.

  • Give a mother and her children a second chance. DONT BREAK THIS BOND!
    The woman I am writing about has been living in the U.K. Since 1998 and has two sons who were both born here, whom she dotes on. She made a mistake which she regrets deeply and has nightmares about over 6 years later. However if anyone was ever a reformed character, she certainly is! She has made massive progress during her sentence, taking courses that enable her to work for the NHS, attending therapeutic programs, finding religion and being a central support figure for other prisoners. It would be significantly emotionally damaging, not only for her friends and family, but most of all for her two young sons. It is a human right to family life. If she were to be deported this would not only breach her right to a family life, it would also take that basic human right away from her two innocent children. No one on this earth is prefect. When given a second chance people can achieve great things. Even though they may have had the odds stacked against them. If you beleive people can change. If you beleive a child deserves a mother and if you appreciate human rights then please sign this petition. Thank you.

  • PLANNING APPLICATION 17/0737
    It will have a knock on effect on a number of organisations and churches with the area. The site has always been a commercial one and houses two churches, a nursery and and a restaurant to now have residential properties will mean that the current organisations will be affected and it will cause congestion to the existing road system in the area.

  • Accountablity for rochdale grooming scandals 2007-2012
    An independent inquiry is needed because the people of the town and the victims feel that they have been let down. It is clear from evidence supplied that people at the top in the police and council were aware of the situation and neglected to act. These people have either been allowed to resign with pension rights or else carry on in their jobs. We need a full and transparent inquiry into who failed these girls.
