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

04/11/18 Great news The Totnes Sunday Good Food Market has been saved. South Hams District Council has reached an agreement with Ray Reynolds, the market operator. The award winning market will continue to be operated under the stewardship of Ray and will hopefully go from strength to strength. Thanks for signing the petition and this played a part in getting the council to talk to Ray to bring about an agreement. Regards John Birch

05/06/15 Petition starter David followed up the campaign with a Comment is free article in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/05/pride-parade-ukip-queer-activists-lesbians-gays-miners-racism. This campaign and other pressures from across the LGBT community led to the organisers of Pride announcing that UKIP's application to march had been rejected: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jun/05/ukip-banned-from-gay-pride-march-after-partys-inclusion-stokes-anger

This campaign was a success! Well done to everyone who was involved - together we did it!
