Stop schools locking toilets and denying children useIt is dangerous for a child to be denied toilet access. It can result in a loss of self confidence and cause many long term health and wellbeing problems which can surface in later life.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Greer

Calling all broadcasters: celebrate in November the founding of the Welfare State 80 years agoThis year we celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Another very important anniversary deserving wide publicity this November is to celebrate 80 years since William Beveridge published his Beveridge Report. Many of the recommendations made in that report became the basis of post-war reforms known as the Welfare State. This gave people hope after WW2 and helped millions of us to have better health, housing, education and employment. Such positive improvements demand a national celebration and would bring us all together to show our gratitude to the founder and how he inspired subsequent governments to tackle the five 'giants' - Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness. A centrepiece of the celebrations could be to show Ken Loach's documentary "Spirit of '45". Survivors of pre-war poverty and wartime destruction talk touchingly of their relief as their lives improved thanks to Beveridge. We are living through very difficult, depressing times. This celebration of the Welfare State will remind us that we have survived difficult times in the past and that answers can be found to our problems.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Healngourdivisions Healingourdivisions

BACP & Therapy Today must honour their publishing agreementProjectsnowball.org (#ProjectSnowball) is a charity trying to make difference within survivor and prevention initiatives, as well as bring education and support to the many grey areas in which innocent people get lost. We raise awareness for these issues and provide counselling, group support and education both for children and adults affected by paedophilia or child sexual abuse. ProjectSnowball was collaborating with leading global experts, BACP and their professional journal Therapy Today for a dedicated issue to CSA survivor conditions and prevention initiatives. BACP abruptly ended all discussion, by using Madeleine McCann’s story being back in the news as a scapegoat to rapeculture survivors and prevention initiatives, because they "didn’t want to upset their readers or make them feel bad". We believe this is malpractice and want to elevate the ongoing failures professionals and organisations are hiding through their misuse of power. BACP are purposefully avoiding transcending researched evidence because of a disgust-reflex towards survivors and prevention initiatives; this directly, negatively affects so many vulnerable communities beyond childhood trauma survivors (ASD age-sliding, queer and transgender youth and young adults, Dissociative disorders with regression, POCD and consenting adults engaged in kink) If we can't digest the reality of survivorhood and prevention, then we create an echo chamber of hate in its absence. We demand parity for survivors and accountabilities of prevention. If the UK's leading governing body for counselling and psychotherapy can avoid their duty of care and misuse their power to maintain that avoidance; no person is safe to go to therapy.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Project Snowball Autonomy Counselling

Freeze the energy capIt is amoral that such huge profits are being made and a further 75% rise in the cap is imminent whilst so many people are or will be unable to heat their homes this winter. There is no justification for such rises to happen purely on the basis of profit and a mathematical formula that must be flawed.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Malcolm Bodsworth

Make Invisible Disability Training part of teachers trainingTeachers need to have a better understanding of unseen disabilities, schools are failing our children's needs! A one plan does not fit all! We are all individuals, we need to be treated as individuals! Education is doing more harm than good to our kids who have hidden disabilities.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynne Fairley

Chelsea FC: Kick Gambling Ads Out of Football!My name is Steve and though my own lived experience of dealing with a relative who has been impacted by gambling harms I am now supporting the Big Step campaign for football to end it's toxic relationship with gambling. There are 409 deaths related to gambling every year in England alone and a YouGov study from this year shows that 2.9 million people are either already addicted or at risk of being so, with a further 3.3 million classified as “affected others”. These stark figures show what we already know: gambling harm is not an issue affecting just a small minority, it is severely harming – sometimes killing – many. To prevent any young fan from experiencing what our family and so many others have, I'm urging Chelsea FC to cancel all gambling partnerships, say no to any new offers, and back The Big Step campaign.287 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Steve W

Solar panels on all new-build housesAt present, everyone is aware of temperatures and energy costs rising while the government don’t appear to really be addressing the problems. This proposal allows the government to be seen to be addressing the issues and at the same time providing the possibility of the household getting money back on their electricity bills. With the retail cost of a 4kwh system being approx £6500, this represents a very small increment on the price of an average house, contrary to the view given by developers. So householders can feel that they are actively assisting in addressing climate change for very little personal effort and expense.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Cousens

Wolves FC: Kick gambling ads out of football!We lost our son Jack to gambling-related suicide in 2017. He was just 24 years old. Jack was a bright, popular, charismatic, and confident young man with his life ahead of him but gambling took that away from him. Gambling was his only problem - he was not vulnerable in any conventional sense of the word. He was a huge football fan and no doubt the harmful relationship between gambling and his favourite sport contributed to his addiction, including times when he was trying to cut down or stop. Gambling advertising in football and elsewhere is risking the health and the lives of millions of young people. I've been a fan of Wolves all my life but I struggle to support a club that continues to promote something so harmful - something that we know that can lead to death. I welcome that this season the club has finally moved away from a shirt-front gambling sponsor, but this is pointless in isolation as there is now a gambling company on the shirt sleeve and the club has other advertising partnerships with the industry. It has to stop, alongside an end to all gambling promotions inside Molineaux and around our pitch. After Jack's death, my wife and I co-founded and now co-chair Gambling with Lives, a charity representing and supporting a community of bereaved families. All of the young people that the families have lost to gambling suicides were bright, popular and happy people like Jack, but with just one problem: addiction to gambling. This suicide risk is real and substantial: recently Public Health England estimated that there are 409 gambling related suicides every year in England alone. A YouGov study from this year shows that 2.9 million people are either already addicted or at serious risk of being so, with a further 3.3 million classified as “affected others”. These stark figures show what we already know: gambling harm is not an issue affecting just a small minority, it is severely harming hundreds of thousands and killing hundreds every year. To prevent any other family from going through what ours and so many others have, I'm urging my club Wolves to cancel all gambling partnerships, say no to any new offers, and back The Big Step campaign to end all gambling advertising in football.257 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Charles Ritchie

Newcastle Utd: Kick gambling ads out of football!There are 409 deaths related to gambling every year in England alone, with the North East been the highest and a YouGov study from this year shows that 2.9 million people are either already addicted or at risk of being so, with a further 3.3 million classified as “affected others”. These stark figures show what we already know: gambling harm is not an issue affecting just a small minority, it is severely harming – sometimes killing – many. To prevent any young fan from experiencing what, I went through as attempting to take my own life and so many others did, I'm urging Newcastle Utd to cancel all gambling partnerships, say no to any new offers, and back The Big Step campaign469 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Coyne

Fulham FC: Kick gambling ads out of football!My name is Christopher Bilmes. I am recovering from addictions, including gambling, and have been in recovery for the last 13 years. I know first hand the effect that gambling has had on my own life, on the life of my family and my friends around me. It led to my bankruptcy and divorce, and to losing everything. It started innocently enough but, in time, got completely out of hand and I simply couldn't stop. Gambling companies have plenty of other places that they are visible (including on every high street in the country), but normalising something that is so potentially damaging, and having it as a partner for our club is not something Fulham FC should countenance any more. The decision to partner with a gambling company for the 2022/23 season is hugely disappointing and wrong. We don't promote cigarettes, we don't allow alcohol within the view of the pitch - and we shouldn't allow our team shirts and our club to be covered in the livery of a gambling sponsor. There are 409 deaths related to gambling every year in England alone and a YouGov study from this year shows that 2.9 million people are either already addicted or at risk of being so, with a further 3.3 million classified as “affected others”. These stark figures show what we already know: gambling harm is not an issue affecting just a small minority, it is severely harming – sometimes killing – many. To prevent any young fan from experiencing what I and so many others did, I'm urging Fulham FC to cancel all gambling partnerships, say no to any new offers, and back The Big Step campaign.380 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Bilmes
