MAY'S CAMPAIGN is a campaign to try and get more help for people with Mental Health issues who need to be able to talk to someone when they are having a bad time or are in an unstable state of mind. At the moment people with mental health issues are advised to go to their nearest A&E department who are often over stretched and don't always have the staff to spend time talking to people with mental health issues. Sometimes people with mental health issues are put in touch with a Crisis team, but again they are voices on the end of a telephone telling them to go to A&E, or 20 minutes per day home visit. If there were walk-in centers, that these people could go to, it would relieve the pressures on A&E departments and quite often people with mental health issues just need to be able to talk to someone face to face, who is willing to listen to them and make them feel that what they are going through is important and that they, as people, are important to their families and to society in general. Today a young girl named MAY had her funeral, she was 21 and had suffered with mental illness for a number of years, but because she couldn't get the help she desperately needed, she took her own life. There were a lot of young people at the funeral who had known May as a friend, and who had also received support on-line from all across the country. People loved May for what she did to help them, she tried to help many people with their problems and she also worked as a volunteer at a center for people with suicidal tendencies, where they could go for support and even be able to stay for a few nights, so they could feel safe. Yet when May needed this help there wasn't anywhere for her to go. My daughter was one of the people at the funeral who has also suffered with mental health issues and has often been through very difficult times, where she has needed support, but has not been able to get to talk to anyone without being told to just go to A&E where she has had to sit for hours while waiting to be seen and in the meantime her anxieties have reached suicidal levels. No mother, father, family member or friend should have to bury their sons or daughters, because the support that they need isn't in place for them to use. There are walk in centers for the homeless, for food banks, people who are unable to handle the amount of alcohol they drink and other problems, but there isn't enough being done for mental health sufferers. It could be organized and run by volunteers in empty shops, mobile buses or safe houses. It doesn't have to be big new buildings, just somewhere people can feel safe and listened to. So please sign this petition and share it with your friends, family and everyone who means something to you, also your loved ones, as we all know someone who has had mental health issues from depression to suicide, and we all need to show them our support by getting something done to help them where they can go and feel safe instead of suicidal. Thankyou for taking the time to read this, now please sign it, we need as many signatures as there are people who love someone out there.

A timescale is needed as we are all frustrated at the lack of leadership and planning in NHS Highland for dealing with Autism Diagnosis in children. There is a damaging and detrimental effect of the current diagnosis system, on the child, parents and siblings. Early prevention has been proven to be key and can have a huge positive impact on the child. In my own son's case it took 10 years for him to be diagnosed, and up to 7-8 years in other cases. I have even known of some cases where it has been after the child has passed 16 for the diagnosis! This is after them struggling through their school years and their education suffering.

I was boarding a bus the other day - i don't take buses often, but with both my parents being busy, it was the only way that I could get into town. I boarded the bus, asked for an under-16 ticket, only to be asked for £1.90. I remember a time when adult tickets were priced at this, and when under-16 tickets were £1.30, which was fair enough. First Cymru have seemed to 'bump up' the fares every couple of months by 10p or so, and it has gotten to the point where I would rather walk into town. Under-16s can't get jobs, so putting the bus fares up every couple of months seems a bit unfair on them. Especially since they are probably going into town to meet with friends, and have a limited amount of money, much like I normally do. This petition could also work with adult fares, I believe that they are now £2.40, as I saw someone buying a ticket the other day. To make this sound worse, a bus in London, which is apparently the most expensive city, only costs £1.50 for a single ticket to go anywhere. I believe that the Swansea fare depends on how many stops you go, but for most people living outside of town, it tends to go to the maximum chargeable fare. First are simply taking advantage of people now that bus companies are no longer ruled by the council.

Virgin’s brand values - being honest, decent and playing it straight - are totally at odds with the Sun’s track record of misleading reporting, and of playing one group off against another in pursuit of a divisive political agenda. Last year, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights raised serious concerns about a Sun article likening migrants to “cockroaches". He said this was typical of “decades of sustained and unrestrained anti-foreigner abuse, misinformation and distortion” by the UK media. Yet since then, the Sun’s demonisation of immigrants has only intensified. The hate campaign reached new heights during the European Union referendum. An upsurge in scare stories about EU migrants was followed by a wave of violence against immigrant families. Virgin’s founder, Sir Richard Branson, has previously spoken out against the “anti-refugee and anti-immigrant rhetoric... gaining support in many of the richest nations”. With racist attacks on the rise, it is vital that we all now unite against the hatred and division that has been poisoning our public discourse for so long. As one of the UK’s leading companies, Virgin Media has the chance to take a bold stand for unity and tolerance. By pulling your advertising from the Sun newspaper, you can send a strong message that this aggressive rhetoric has gone too far. In doing so you can position yourself as a company that not only stands out from the crowd, but also stands up for the vulnerable and maligned.

Barnet Copthalls deep water pool has now closed for demolition. We thank each and every one of you that has supported us for the last three years non stop. We still need petition signatures as the people power behind this great cause stands us in good stead for future funding. Please help us reach 11,000 signatures! The pool is now closed pending demolition despite the public outcry to save it. Barnet has spent 47 million pounds on two new leisure centres but could not find a solution for one diving board. Many promises were made, but we have had to walk through treacle to move forward even slightly. The Mayor of Londons Crowdfundldn team were also told by Barnet that their scheme was unaffordable, they didn't mention ours. The pool as you know is unique in the fact that there is no other like it between East London & Luton. It is large enough for Regional competitions, has a moveable floor and a five diving metre platform . The users of the pool are beyond heartbroken, particularly the children who have been out on the streets gaining signatures, raising funds through triathlons and attending council meetings. The scuba divers, public divers, dive lessons, squad divers, synchro, water polo and deep water fitness and aquatic fitness and therapy users are all also beyond consolable. Personally although the last three years have taken their toll on us all mentally and emotionally it makes us more determined to replace this prized community grass roots facility and protect the Olympic Legacy of London 2012! This is a tragic loss to the Barnet Borough. Decreasing physical activity in 2019 is beyond comprehendible. Barnet are also building 12,000 new homes and reducing water space. We want to build a game changing, fully inclusive, deep water pool for Barnet. We will have 50 aquatic activities every week and aim to have moveable steps into the pool and lifts up to the diving platforms! We ask that you stick with us on this bumpy but worthy journey. Please keep sharing the petition and follow us on all social media channels. Comments are more than welcome. Thanks for reading. #Barnet #BarnetCopthall #Copthall #Crowdfundldn #SaveBarnetDiving #NorthLondon

Community health services for children and young people include health visiting, school nursing and the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) – a programme for teenage parents. These services are essential for our children’s wellbeing but they are now under the most severe threat. Private companies like Virgin care are being awarded huge contracts across many different health services but, because they want to make a profit, they reduce their costs by cutting staff and lowering standards and quality of care. If you • don’t want a company like Virgincare making money from the health of Brightons’ children • don’t want to see our children suffer as a result of a £1m cut to their services • Want to see the service properly funded and run by the NHS then please sign and share this petition as widely as possible. And please make your feelings about the potential privatisation known to your MP, local councillors and the local press. FOR OUR CHILDREN’S SAKE: SAY NO TO THE PRIVATISATION OF THE NHS

We play a vital role in safety, being informative, assisting anyone that might need help in boarding on & off the buses and a friendly face should someone just need a chat. I actually work on routes 24 & 390 & have for just over 3yrs. My elderly passengers on the 24 are very upset, they love having the safety of our arms to help them on & off the bus. This enables them to still have a certain amount of independence, without having to rely on a slotted time from some other form of transport, they can come & go as they please. Wheelchair users that do need assistance! Who's going to help them? Or the visually impaired passenger that feels safer taking our arm.

The actions of the NEC are so undemocratic they do not belong in this country. All across society they have excluded members and supports with bitter choices. This cannot be allowed to go on in The Labour Party.

We believe that the DfE is damaging the mental health of children through its excessive testing and is devaluing education by promoting rote learning of age-inappropriate grammatical concepts. If we do not suspend tests this year then we are setting our children up to fail by forcing them to be part of a system that does not consider them individuals, but instead data on a page to be analysed. We are creating children who are stifled and demotivated due to continuous and unnecessary teaching to the test. We are setting schools up to fail and leaving them open to academisation. • The focus on the EU referendum has meant little focus on education – we are about to face the same situation as in 2016 again with our children potentially labelled as failures due to tests which are inappropriate and demoralised teachers forced to teach a curriculum they feel is wrong. • The new tests have been developmentally inappropriate for the age groups involved. Children have been set up to fail. Thus supporting the Government’s plans for academising all schools. 47% of children ‘failed’ Yr 6 SATs this year. • English children are the most tested in Europe. • Mental health experts and teachers agree that excessive testing is harming our children. • Testing has become ‘high stakes’ due to pressure on teachers as tests are linked to performance related pay. • The testing structure in 2016 was filled with flaws including leaked papers. • The NAHT have called for a ‘complete overhaul’ of the current system, supported by a motion carried by 99.6% of delegates. • The NUT described the situation as a ‘car crash’. • 97% of teachers surveyed by the NUT agree or strongly agree that preparation for the SATs has had a negative impact on children’s access to a broad and balanced curriculum. • 90% of teachers surveyed think that changes to primary assessment this year have had a negative impact on children’s experience at school. Expressing the damage that the new system has done to pupils, teachers write of demoralisation, demotivation, and physical and mental distress – effects, they predict, will be lasting. We want teachers, unions and mental health experts to be able to work together with the Government to create a curriculum that encourages our children to develop inquiring minds and a love of learning. This takes time... We are very concerned that adequate time has not been taken in the current political climate to ensure another assessment ‘car crash’ does not take place in 2017.

UK has voted out of the EU and needs all hands to contribute to the national development. If illegal immigrants who are already in the United Kingdom are granted amnesty, they will play a major role in the development of the country. An amnesty could yield an additional millions of Pound Sterling a year of Income Tax and National Insurance receipts. Granting an amnesty to the illegal immigrants who are already in the country will bring them out of the shadows and into the real economy and they can contribute to the tax system. In the process of granting an amnesty, they will pay fines so the legalisation will not be dependant on a taxpayers’ money and it will be self-sustained, and also to have a proper criminal checks. The case of amnesty extends beyond economics. It is also a human thing to do. Regularising status to illegal immigrants avoid vulnerability exploitation and destitution as well as avoid creating a situation in which they are more likely to be pushed into the black economy. In extreme cases, illegal immigrants can slip into sexual exploitation and forced labour. The Prime Minister, Theresa May said , the government she leads will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but promised to give more control over everyone's life in the country. Illegal immigrants really want to take up jobs to support themselves, their families and the national development but they are unable to do so as their lives are restricted in a multicultural country where the whole world look up to due to resident permit. Please grant amnesty to these illegal immigrants who are already in the country to live a normal life and to contribute substantially to the national economy.

Iain McNicol General Secretary for Labour NEC has agreed that the leadership announcement conference will take place on 24th September 2016. He has done this knowing that it will overshadow the only yearly Labour Women's Conference which takes place on the same day and was planned well in advance of this leadership contest. He is undermining the importance of this conference to the moral and confidence Women members have in the Labour Party's ability to understand their needs and recognition of their achievements.
