Successful Campaigns

HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE PROPOSAL WE SAW WAS A DRAFT LEAKED BY MISTAKE. I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO THE WAY WE USE THE VALE PARKS AND GREEN SPACES WITH OUR DOGS.

Thank you for signing the petition Stop the closure of BHA Leeds Skyline. Nearly 1,200 of you made a difference. Leeds City Council cited they revised their decision based on 'the well-organised and effective campaign they [BHA Leeds Skyline] mounted'.

Despite writing a report on food banks in June 2013, the government were refusing to publish it. Then over 2000 38 Degrees members joined with NGOs and faith leaders to persuade ministers to change their mind. Relenting to the pressure, the government published their report in February. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/283071/household-food-security-uk-140219.pdf

23/07/14 - Sainsburys are not opening a store on South End Green! "This is a seismic victory for the community who have acted with one voice to inform the senior management teams of the landlords, Dorringtons and Sainsburys of their concerns. ...Well done to you all. The world seems a better place to live today and by working together and continuing to nurture the connections that we have all made through this campaign, we can all secure a better tomorrow."

UPDATE: GREAT NEWS: WE WON! Staffordshire council have announced that they’re scrapping plans to start charging pupils £380 to get to school.

We Won! 05/03/19 A big thank you to everyone who signed our petition. Sandwell Autism Group are thrilled to report that Sandwell Council have now funded specialist autism family support for another year. The support is across the whole of Sandwell to any parent/carer who needs it. A grant was given to Autism West Midlands to provide the service and they have been asked to consult with parent/carers to make sure the offer of support meets the needs of the parent/carers. We are now looking towards how our voice can become part of the planning at a strategic level so we don't have this issue every year. Again, thanks to everyone who took time to sign and share the petition. Best wishes Rebecca Harris

Largely won campaign
