Spiritual support for those dying from Covid19We hear the sad stories of people whose loved ones died alone in hospital due to the strict policy which prevents visitors, family members or friends to be with the sick person. We also hear that nurses are doing their best to stay with someone who is dying but they also have to respond to other calls for care. We also know, both anecdotally but from research evidence, that very ill people and those dying find comfort from a prayer, or just the presence of someone who can hold their hand and be with them as they take their last breaths. This is a regular compassionate practice in hospices and they, as well as all hospitals have links with spiritual leaders whom they call upon as needed. In the current unprecedented times, we need to harness the spiritual resources we have and organise them in order to be an essential part of all healthcare teams and to be present, in their PPE, at all times. This compassionate approach to so many deaths will provide comfort not only to patients but to their loved ones and the health workers.130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Irena Papadopoulos

Help ManorlandsMANORLANDS is facing closure within months due to a funding crisis. Sue Ryder, which runs the Oxenhope hospice, says income has dried-up because of the coronavirus pandemic. The charity, which relies on public donations to maintain its services, has had to close its shops and cancel fundraising events. Now, with a potential funding gap of £12 million over the next three months, Sue Ryder is warning that without immediate financial support it will be forced to shut its hospices and stop providing its other end-of-life services. “During this particular period it should be providing 100 per cent funding – and then looking to the future, covering at least half the running costs of our hospices.”6,398 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Clair Parker

Bank you Nurses and Doctors!To say "Thank You" in a tangible way, for giving so much when we needed them to step-up during the Coronavirus Covid19 pandemic. Completing over two-thousand hours of hand-on, direct clinical practice over three years – is it fair to ask them to accumulate debt? With a starting salary of £24,214, this is a debt the majority of nurses will never pay off. Please sign to petition to get their DEBT WIPED OFF!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Eaton

Save Reading Gaol for the communityReading Gaol is of huge national and international cultural significance in terms of its history and its ties to Oscar Wilde’s incarceration there. For the LGBT community those connections to Oscar Wilde are of heightened importance. Wilde wrote “De Profundis,” from his cell and the site was later the inspiration for his poem: “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” As a listed building and a Scheduled Monument, it is of national historical importance. The eastern section of the 900 year old Abbey church and quite possibly the site of Henry I’s tomb lie underneath the ground. The community in Reading and beyond feel that it's best future is as a cultural and arts site that can share this history and complete the Abbey Quarter for Reading. The council submitted a bid for the site with the support of the community. Matt Rodda MP for Reading East has said "I am concerned that the Government still want to sell the gaol to the highest bidder and I understand they now have a preferred bidder who they are working with." Alok Sharma as the neighbouring MP for Reading West prior to the election spoke in support of saving the site, wore a 'save Reading Gaol T-shirt' and said he would back the campaign. We call on him to act on these words now. As a member of the government he is in a unique position to ensure that this special site is saved for our community.778 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Eden
