We finally have the Firstsite we dreamed of, a jewel in our midst, a beating heart of creativity in Colchester. The Board of Trustees at Firstsite are largely an outsider group who are not in tune with the current feeling and support for the huge achievements of both Anthony Roberts and the staff in creating a jewel in Colchester's creative community. They are dismissive of the community in Colchester and are about to destroy all that has been created by Anthony and his team. Please don't let this happen.

According to the child loss charity, SANDS one in every 216 babies delivered in the UK in 2013 were stillborn (that is, the baby died during pregnancy and birth any time from 24 weeks of pregnancy onwards).  In the same year, one in every 370 babies born died in the first four weeks of life. One-third of stillborn babies that's round 1,200 babies every year-die after a full term pregnancy (37 or more weeks).  According to the office of national statistics, there were 3284 stillbirths in England and wales in 2013 ( a fall of 7.7%) Also in 2013 there were 249 unexplained infant deaths in England and Wales a rate of 0.36 deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2012, there were 523 deaths in the age range of 1-4 years (Why children die. May 2014. Wolfe, Mcfarlen et al) Whilst these statistics may be alarming it is important to point out that the number of deaths in pregnancy and infancy had decreased from 2012. Through making National Awareness within the UK, this will help in the recognition of loss during a parent's pain. This remembrance day can play a small part in enabling families to find a way of grieving and in time help each other throughout the UK-remove the stigma of not being able to talk about it.  Most importantly having a pregnancy and infant loss awareness day recognised it will raise awareness of some of the issues surrounding child loss, the need for better maternity care, the need to improve bereavement services for grieving parents, better understanding and support from employers, and prevention; to name a few.  Contrary to popular belief it is only a national day in the USA, Canada, Australia and recognised in Italy as Piccolo Angeli. In the UK, it is observed and acknowledged by various charities and non profit organisations.  Please show your support by signing the petition Angel Parents UK.

Deaths have risen dramatically on the last few years, and g4s human rights track record speaks for itself. They care nothing for the lives in there hands! My partner died in a g4s prison and he was treated like an animal not a human being, some of of most vulnerable people in society end up in prison no everyone who goes to prison is bad, they just need help. G4s isn't capable to take care of these people. My partner hasn't been the only death! and many more will follow if nothing is done! Thank you

Pet owners. The elderly. Parents. Shift workers. We know the cost of a bit of fun. It's not just one evening. It starts at the beginning of October, and goes on and on, to Christmas, new year, and so on. Animals cannot tell that this is fun. It sounds like war. It sounds bad. It sounds scary.

If the Northamptonshire Police Force Control Centre (FCC) which handles 999 and 101 calls as well as police radio transmissions is relocated from the Wootton Hall Police HQ in Northampton into another County, with it will disappear all of the local knowledge, experience and expertise that currently benefits both Police Officers and members of the public here in Northamptonshire. The local police union, Unison, believe that this essential part of front line policing should NOT be moved to a location remote from its parent Force, or put into the hands of the notorious G4S or any other private company who will run it as a business rather than for the benefit of the people of Northamptonshire. The staff of the FCC are rightly proud of the professional service they continue to provide, and it is to their great credit that they put their concerns for the safety and wellbeing of the vulnerable and distressed members of the public who will be affected by these changes before their own worries about job security and terms and conditions of service.

In April of 2016 the government, on recommendation by The Centre for Research in Social Policy, intend to raise the National Living Wage to £7.20 p/h with the objective of increasing it to £9.00 p/h by 2020. As a worker earning a similar amount to the 2020 target I feel from both personal experience and by listening to the struggles faced by fellow workers that the term is a misnomer and would be much more accurately described as the 'Subsistence Wage'. Definition; The lowest wage a worker and their family can survive on.

We are all human beings regardless of our circumstances. Please Tower Hamlets Council show some compassion this winter. There is a huge housing crisis in this country which is reflected in the number of homeless people on the streets. No one deserves to be sleeping outside at any time of the year, but especially as the weather gets colder and wetter.

The Railway Lake was formed after the extraction of gravel by Tarmac plc in the 1990s and 2000s on land owned by Trinity College, Cambridge. Local people were promised, in order to secure their co-operation, that, after the work was completed, the pit would be converted to a Lake and an area of natural beauty and quiet water for everyone to enjoy. Now Newark and Sherwood District Council want to allow the Lake to be developed and to change its use, to allow sailing, wind-surfing and sporting use on the Lake and development by the side of it. This will involve the erection of buildings, creation of an access road, installation of services and the construction of a septic tank. These facilities already exist nearby on an adjacent Lake, less than a mile away. If allowed, the whole nature of the Railway Lake will be lost for ever. Local people don't want this, but the Council is not listening. Please help us to show that areas of natural beauty in the countryside have a value and need to be preserved for everyone to enjoy.

Stop the accidents in home displays, and distress to people and animals.

A group of Firstsite staff are leading a campaign to change the proposed staff restructure at the gallery, to enable the continuation of the positive changes that have begun to take place. We are calling for this rethink so we can protect jobs for people, particularly local people, instead of relying on volunteers to make up the majority of the customer facing staff. The cutbacks to the current staff structure will adversely affect the visitor experience and have a negative impact on the diverse and interesting programme of events, particularly within the learning department and the engagement of children and young people, currently one of the strongest areas Firstsite has with engaging with the community. The restructure addresses necessary financial savings that need to be made, but the proposed changes will result in short term savings, rather than creating a sustainable organisation that can generate income going forward. This will also perpetuate an unequal working and earning structure within the organisation. These changes will increase pressure on the remaining staff, many of whom already work outside of their job requirements, whilst offering a more than generous wage for the Director of the gallery.

There are so many buildings not used in the Liverpool area which could be used over winter for the growing number of homeless people in Liverpool. The winter months bring so many fatalities which could be avoided if people were allowed to sleep inside. Ex- Manchester United star Gary Neville has opened the doors to his building in Manchester just for the winter months and also has offered jobs to homeless people, when he plans to renevate it next summer. These people just need a chance and a bit of hope that the world cares about them, it could make all the difference, please sign.

To plead to Plymouth City Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.
