Toys For DisabilitiesThis is an issue which needs to be addressed in order to help the development of children with disabilities. Having recently visited a store with my 7 year old nephew, who has down syndrome, we were shocked to discover that there was not a single section designated to children whose needs differ from normal children. They require sensory toys, often with lights and sounds to aid their development but all that is available in store is similar toys designed for babies and small children not for older children who despite having a disability still need to work on skills such as counting, just through different means.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Smith

Stand up for NHS funding in east Devon: Hugo SwireCuts and closures aren’t the only option. If the government gave the NHS the money it needs, it’d mean decisions could be made with patients in mind.41 of 100 Signatures

Girls can do what boys can do !!I believe this is important as it shows that girls can do whatever they like even if everyone says that they can't. It shows girls that they shouldn't be down about themselves and should show there talents, not hide them.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eleanor Mula-Young

Immigration Policy Against The British Family.l feel that the Tory Government do not place value, nor are showing compassion for the British families. l can tell that they are currently playing immigration politics with the British people precious, life and destiny, which is not acceptable and fair on the British public. One example of such case is Irene Clennell, who was sent back to Singapore despite being married to a Briton for 27 years. The family of this woman removed from the UK after losing her indefinite leave to remain have condemned the home secretary for a lack of compassion, as MPs, campaigners and lawyers warned such cases were becoming common. Irene Clennell, 52, who first arrived in Britain in 1988, was deported on Sunday and landed in Singapore on Monday afternoon local time after more than a month of detention in an immigration removal centre. She had no chance to say goodbye to her British husband of 27 years, their two sons or her two-year-old granddaughter, who all live in north-east England.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Clement

Fair pay for a fair days work for mobile phone batteries.Yet again the people (including children as young as 4 who should be in school) are being exploited and used as slaves by the massively rich mobile phone corporations to increase their profits. This is outrageous in this century.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Riley

Nationalise Hospital Car-parking and push all profits into the NHSLarge companies like Indigo, who provide car parks at Hospitals around the country make millions of pounds of profit charging extortionate fees to patients, relatives and staff who need access to the hospitals. Only a small portion of these profits are turned over to the NHS, with the majority going to tax subsidised firms who continue to rake in millions of pounds. If these long-term contracts were torn up by our Government and NHS England, prices could be regulated, and all of the profits could go directly into the struggling Health Service. As it stands, these heartless companies are ripping off thousands each day, the NHS is getting a bad deal, and more and more power is being directed into the hands of a few. http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/nurse-given-parking-ticket-while-she-was-in-hospital-possibly-trying-to-save-someone-s-life/story-30155046-detail/story.html Change is needed now!17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by calum davidson

Funded Sleep Support for All FamiliesThe Children's Sleep Charity is contacted by hundreds of families each week, many who are at crisis point due to sleep deprivation. We are unable to meet demand due to lack of funding. Sleep deprivation is costly to society and impacts negatively on the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of the whole family. Currently sleep support is unregulated which means that anybody can set up a business and offer a family information. Inappropriately trained practitioners can provide mis-information to vulnerable families. Sleep support needs regulation in order to protect families. The importance of sleep must be addressed urgently. Evidence shows that providing a behavioural approach to sleep is effective and also hugely cost saving to the NHS.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicki Dawson

Die with Dignity in ScotlandToo many people reach the end of their lives, and sadly are in tremendous pain and have lost their dignity. The medical profession keeps these people alive against their will. This is inhuman. My father, mother and aunt all begged me to terminate their lives to end their suffering. That was over 40 years ago and nothing has changed. Please read this distressing link about Flora, who died recently in Fife. BEWARE IT IS GRAPHICALLY DISTURBING. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/help-die-family-release-heartbreaking-961406050 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Grahame Wear

Delayed DBS checksThese checks are important to anyone who has a job working with the sick, disabled, or children. All care/support workers, nurses, and teachers cannot legally work in the uk without a current DBS check. However the government currently has a back log of over 150.000.00 people (and rising) who cannot start work in much needed services such as the NHS and community support as they are still waiting for their DBS.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael McNamara

Give old MoD rations to the hungryOver the last few years the MoD has thrown away an increasing number of ORPs (ration packs). Last year they threw away over 12,000 ORPs. That's over 12,000 meals, balanced and high energy, suitable for consumption by someone who has no access to cooking facilities, just dumped. 12,000 people who could have been fed went hungry. And at no cost to the MoD, these meals could have been made available to charities for collection and distribution. This is a terrible example of needless waste.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Diana Whitmill
