• UAL, why are you getting rid of technical, student facing staff at Chelsea?
    The loss of these talented members of technical staff will come at the worst possible point for the MA 2016 cohort and will have grim implications for those who still have the majority of their BA degrees ahead of them too. With resources already stretched to breaking point, contact and support time limited and specialist advice in high demand, we want to know how the University can justify this decision.

  • Please don't auction off Team GB Gold-medal-winning horse Uthopia
    The dressage horse Uthopia is a massive part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics, where he helped Team GB win team gold in the dressage. However, he is due to be auctioned off as part of a bankruptcy asset sale by trustees Keenan Corporate Finance and HNH Group on 27th May 2016. Please don't let this happen. Uthopia deserves to retire in peace with his rider Carl Hester, who has cared for him for the last 11 years. Uthopia's welfare is also at stake, in that he has healthcare needs that are unlikely to be met if he is sold in this manner.

  • Free Local Train Travel for England's Pensioners
    Many pensioners are isolated, lonely and trapped in pensioner poverty. Buses do not provide toilets or comfort for many with mobility or health issues. South Yorkshire Freedom Riders have long campaigned for their concession to be returned and for it to be extended to all on the above grounds as well as social needs. For example many now find hospital treatment is no longer local but regional and often impossible to travel to by bus. If it's good enough for pensioners in London then it's only right that all pensioners in England have the same concession.

  • Save All Hallows Hall
    All Hallows Hall (AHH), a vibrant community hub in Easton in Bristol, is under threat from closure from it's current owner. That's why we are calling on the Bristol City Council to support our application to turn All Hallows Hall into a community asset and thereby protect it for use by the community. Without this protection, All Hallows Hall, a fantastic Grade 2 listed building, risks being turned into flats, or lost completely. Run by volunteers, the site has been transformed over four years from a derelict eyesore to become a venue that has had 25,000 people visit to enjoy live music, theatre, circus performances, markets, art installations, and more. It's a venue that has become a space for community groups to run clubs and activities - from Aikido to choirs. "I am just one of thousands that has been positively effected by the hall presence. It has given me a place to offer inner city young adults free drama training through Tank Theatre and the now legendary M.C.Beth performances. And it continues to support these and other emerging artists by offering us free and cheap rehearsal spaces. It is vital and the only space in Easton where Theatre and Circus can thrive." Dave Lovatt, Theatre Director Please help us save this beautiful building that provides a vital community resource for the future use of the people of Easton and Bristol. Thank you for taking the time to read this. For more information on the different ways you can help support AHH please visit www.save.allhallowshall.co.uk To check out our current program of events visit: www.allhallowshall.co.uk

  • Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Falmouth, Cornwall
    The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. Falmouth was recently named "The Best Place to Live" in the South West by The Sunday Times. They failed to mention the streets, parks, play areas and some of the schools are doused with health harming poison.

  • Jeremy Hunt - Get some work experience with a Junior Doctor
    This should go a long way towards generating mutual understanding, rebuilding the trust of Junior Doctors and the public ... and hopefully bring about a solution.

  • Ban Dangerous Pesticides on the Isle of Wight
    The use of toxic glyphosate chemicals in weedkillers has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. We are extremely concerned that our community, including young children and dogs, and our precious wildlife are being routinely exposed to glyphosate that the World Health Organisation states is 'probably carcinogenic'. You may well be aware that attitudes to wild plants have changed in recent decades and that pristine lawns without wild flowers are now outdated. These plants add colour and interest to our parks. They also serve as indicators of a healthy and safe lawn, both for us and for insect pollinators, especially bees, on whose services we depend for our food.
