Successful Campaigns

*UPDATE* on 10th March 2015 the Home Office devastatingly went ahead with the deportation of 32 people to Afghanistan. However- the amazing news is that 20 people were taken off the flight, including Sherdil, Shafiq and Izatullah!

UPDATE - 03/07/14 We did it, the camp is saved. The Management Committee of the Salford Children’s Holiday Camp has rescinded its decision to close the camp. We would like to thank Salford schools, the local business community and charitable organisations for their support in helping us reach this decision.

The link road will be built. In July this year Devon County Council agreed that the link road will be built, and the funding has been agreed. It may take another 2 years to actually be built, it's now all dependent on agreements and contracts etc.

From 20th April 2025, Stagecoach will be running three buses an hour on the number 2 bus route, and will include a more direct route too. Success at last, campaigning works!

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."

B&Q have responded to the petition and made a donation of £8,000. Alex, Colin, Sarah and the rest of the team would like to thank everyone who supported putting pressure on B&Q to make a donation and of course to B&Q for then donating £8,000. The Daily Mirror who ran the B&Q promotion in question are also donating £1,000!

We won! 14/03/17 - The services have been taken off the list for cuts!
