• Amnesty for non EU immigrants
    It is important because wether you are legal or not illegal in the uk we are all humans , we all deserve the same treatment , family have been seperrated , from one and other because some have had status to stay here some don't , is not fair , every one who is here but not legally all they want to do is work and live a normal life with their close family's , they want to contribute in the government pay they taxes bills etc, like every other British person , I think there is nothing wrong that , I know family's who have spend fortunes for their close ones to get a status in the uk they have spend thousands on home office fees , court fees and lawyer fees , and in the end of it they still get refused , where are the human rights ?

  • Save Forest of Dean Bus Services
    There are strong rumours that Forest of Dean bus routes could be seriously reduced or some routes axed in the autumn 2016. A public consultation took place in the summer but the results have not been made public. For many people, these buses are a lifeline: whether it's helping them get to work , or helping more vulnerable members of the community get out to community groups. The resulting cuts will affect the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community, isolating them even further with dire economic, educational, employment, and health implications. Please add your voice to ours.

  • SAVE SHEERWATER'S GREEN SPACES AND RECREATION GROUND
    Our green spaces and recreation ground are valuable community assets and the recreation ground is vital as it is designated Flood zone category 2, protecting the local community and surrounding areas from risk of flooding. Our playing fields and park are used by many on a daily basis. They are not only used by Sheerwater residents. The recreation ground serves a much wider area. The recreation ground has a large park area for children, skate ramps, cricket nets and a large green space popular for football and dog walking. Should the regeneration go through on the proposed scale, the borough stands to lose the recreation ground. It will be replaced by smaller 'pocket parks' and a swale which will collect water to protect the area from flooding. The smaller areas of green will be far too small to play a game of football. The current plans show that Sheerwater will lose well over a third of its green space. A leisure centre opening within a local school will be accessible to the public outside of school hours, and the facilities will be available 'to hire', which suggests that we will have to pay to use facilities which are currently free and accessible 24 hours a day at our recreation ground. We do not believe this is an acceptable replacement and want to keep our green spaces. If we were to lose the recreation ground, the nearest park of a similar size is almost 2 miles away (in West Byfleet) for some residents. Please sign and support us in saving our recreation ground and green spaces.

  • Review the basic pay for nurses and other allied health care professionals
    There is more and more nurses shortage all across the UK and especially the NNS. It is mainly due to the fact that LESS number of people are attracted towards the job. And it is due to the fact that the salary for nurses in the NHS is so low that new people are not attracted towards the job. Moreover the existing nurses and trying to take alternative profession simply because of the fact that the stress that they take for the pay they receive is not proportionate. With just over £21000 as a starting salary in the NHS for a newly qualified nurse, it is difficult to attract more people into the progression and due to this low numbers of staff on ward patient care is getting compromised. I would like to promote this campaign as one of the step the improve the plight of our world class NHS.

  • Disabled people to be treated with respect and dignity by Atos
    It creates fear, anxiety, distress and an exacerbation of a disabled persons conditions. If somebody has to travel out of area for an assessment it may cause the individual pain, anxiety, panic attacks and other symptoms of their illnesses. People have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. It is not the individuals fault that they are sick and need to rely on the state for financial support. Many people with disabilities have worked and been active members of society. Illness can happen to any of us. People are human with feelings and should not be made to feel humiliated and undeserving whilst attending assessments. An empathetic nature is vital when carrying out health assessments. Nearly all disabled people want to continue working, Nobody wants to struggle financially, have their independence taken away and experience life changing illnesses. The assessors need to be aware of this. It's important to ensure that if somebody is suffering from a mental health illness they are assessed by somebody that works in the Mental health field. If somebody has Parkinsons Disease they need to be assessed by somebody who works in Neurology. An assessor can not understand and individuals needs if they have no knowledge of the illness. Claimants have been unable to attend their assessments because it has been too far to travel. This must be taken into account . It's obvious that if somebody is in a wheelchair it's going to be difficult for them or if somebody is agoraphobic getting to an assessment centre may be impossible. Claimants should not be sanctioned if they have a genuine reason for not being able to turn up. There should be a complete overhaul of the way assessments are devised, dealt with and carried out by Atos and DWP. Disabled people are committing suicide because of the way they have been treated by this organisation the number of which is being hidden from the public. The true statistics should be published

  • Stop HS2
    It will cost every man woman and child in the UK £780.00 each, assuming it's on budget. There isn't sufficient people that will use the service to make it worth while. The say the trains will hold 1100 people and they will run every 3 minutes, that's 22,000 people per hour. In 10 hours that would be 220,000 where will they all go?

  • Protect our Crisis Line in Bristol!
    Help us protect our Crisis Line in Bristol! Earlier this month, Bristol Mental Health (BMH) announced the proposed closure of the crisis line from the end of November 2016. Some concerned users of the crisis line have expressed anxiety over the potential changes, sharing that they worry they would "lose a valuable service" that has helped them 'throughout the last eighteen months or so', approximately how long the line has been operational. With at least one in four people experiencing a mental health issue in their lifetime, now is the time for increased and clear mental health support that is easily accessible for all. We feel that there needs to be more improved signposting, with clear and easily accessible information available for people wanting to use mental health services and seek support. We want to ensure that any changes to the crisis line are in the best interests of those currently accessing services, and those that may access Bristol’s mental health services in the the future. We will be meeting with BMH and Bristol CCG on 9th September to discuss the crisis line further, and will also announce a date for an open meeting to get wider views in the near future. In the meantime, please join us in ensuring proper scrutiny of the future of our Crisis Line and spread the word of this vital campaign by signing and sharing this petition to show you are with us when we meet with them. If you want to get in touch about this campaign, or share your experience of using the Crisis Line, then please drop BIMHN Secretary, Tom, an email at: [email protected] References 1.
