Successful Campaigns

We managed to get one of the main aims of our petition to retain Dr's in our hospital. We will continue to monitor any changes and if necessary we will act again to prevent any further downgrading of services to our local hospital at Hexham

14/03/17 We won! It's just been announced: "Founded in 1744, Muirfield golf club will finally allow female members with immediate effect." https://twitter.com/JamieRoss7/status/841613192522522624

16/10/17 - We won! Thank you for signing the petition Stop bus route changes to service 3 and 4, started by myself. I am delighted to say that Susan Elan Jones MP has released a statement this morning confirming the return of the services to the estate as of January or a trial basis. The service will be 1 per hour, which is sensible. Thank you to John Phillips and Susan Elan Jones for their work on this. Thank you to everyone who supported this petition.

UPDATE! 5/9/16 Lewisham Council’s Planning Dept have just confirmed that Barratt London have finally withdrawn their planning application for a 19 storey tower. They will instead implement the original consent for an 8 storey block on the site between the stations. This is a fantastic victory for sustained grassroots community action, and could not have happened without the support of all 1639 of you. A big thank you to everyone who turned out for the crucial Planning Committee meeting in March: this massive demonstration of local opposition contributed hugely to this wonderful final outcome. And special thanks to all those who helped spread the word locally, e.g. by distributing leaflets. We could not have summoned up such powerful and effective opposition without you.

UPDATE 24/03/16 - Jo Churchill has withdrawn from the sponsored cycle ride for Headway charity following the publicity drawn by this petition! Victory!

Great news! After intense public pressure the Central Youth Theatre has secured a grant from Wolverhampton City Council for another year (minimum). This is a great win and ensures that the theatre can continue to reach out to the youth of Wolverhampton. A big thank you to all of you who supported this campaign.

Update 14/05/15: We won! The fire service withdrew as soon it became apparent that they were involved in a controversy. We'll be keeping an eye on the council's next moves in case they try to find another way to demolish the building.

UPDATE! 17/02/16 The centre will remain open!

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
