Successful Campaigns

7/4/20 Good news - people power has delivered! Randox, the Northern Ireland diagnostics company which has developed a rapid test to identify Covid-19, has confirmed it is no longer selling its tests online for a high price and is now working directly with the NHS. On Saturday it was confirmed the new NHS testing centre at SSE Arena in Belfast would be using Randox test kits. We need to remain vigilant, but because of you and thousands of others who took action when it was most needed, Randox have been forced to act. This much is clear right now: by coming together and taking a stand, we can force people in power to sit up and listen. Thank you for taking action. More power to you, Nicola, Act Now Coordinator (a collaboration between Uplift and 38 Degrees)

**UPDATE** Thank you to all who signed and supported the #WelshBooksMatter campaign. We are thrilled to announce that Ken Skates and the Welsh Government have released a statement this afternoon (20/01/16) stating that there will be no cut to the Welsh Books Council’s grant for 2016/17. The campaign has therefore been successful and we can’t thank you all enough for your support.
