Honour NHS Staff's SacrificeThe NHS and care staff are putting themselves at the greatest risk and losing their lives to protect and save others who have fallen victim to the virus. They are now dying and this is having an increasingly demoralising effect on the staff when they are all scared and worried about their safety. We must honour and respect everyone who has fallen victim to this unprecedented global pandemic and we must put the humanity back into the statistics we are being given. We ask you as our Health leaders to avoid hiding information from us for the fear of scaring us. I'm a nurse and together with my colleagues we think about our risk every day. Losing a colleague will be absolutely devastating to us on the front line as it is to all our colleagues who have already lost their friends. Reading out their names is a very small step that has huge humanistic benefits for us in the health care sector and the whole population at this grave and dangerous time for us all. I also call on the government to call for a weekly minute silence for all the victims each Thursday evening alongside the positive expression of gratitude that is currently occurring.172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Spink

Help ManorlandsMANORLANDS is facing closure within months due to a funding crisis. Sue Ryder, which runs the Oxenhope hospice, says income has dried-up because of the coronavirus pandemic. The charity, which relies on public donations to maintain its services, has had to close its shops and cancel fundraising events. Now, with a potential funding gap of £12 million over the next three months, Sue Ryder is warning that without immediate financial support it will be forced to shut its hospices and stop providing its other end-of-life services. “During this particular period it should be providing 100 per cent funding – and then looking to the future, covering at least half the running costs of our hospices.”6,398 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Clair Parker

Demand Randox Release Covid-19 TestsRandox received £23 million in public funds through Invest NI in 2018, and benefited from a research partnership with our two universities QUB and UU. Now they are selling at an extortionate price (£120 per test) at a time when people are worried about food and job security and how they'll keep a roof over their heads. Meanwhile our NHS is struggling as they don't have enough tests so that key healthcare professionals can continue to do their vital work on the frontline of the fight against this global pandemic. Demand that Randox releases the Covid-19 tests free of charge to the NHS and stops profiteering from this crisis.12,811 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Browne

Take over Brighton hotels for the HomelessPeople experiencing homelessness are much more likely to have underlying conditions than the rest of us, putting them at grave risk from the coronavirus. Millions of us are currently self-isolating at home. But you can't do that on the street. And with shelters closing up because they’re unsafe, there’s nowhere for homeless people to go. But there’s an answer. Brighton’s tourist hotels are sitting empty, their employees’ jobs at risk. Their self-contained rooms are the perfect place for homeless people to stay during this unprecedented crisis. The Council must take over the hotels and use them to take every homeless person off the streets immediately. This petition is by John Hadman (and David Thomas) on behalf of Brighton & Hove Housing Coalition.228 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Thomas (for Brighton & Hove Housing Coalition)

Opposition to consolidating remaining students at University of London residence hallsWe are students living at the University of London residence halls. Under the current pressure of COVID-19, the University of London is now considering to consolidate all remaining residents into one of the Intercollegiate Halls, so that the University can continue to provide core services. This request is against the UK Government's advice about reducing all but essential travel. It will put all resident's health at risk for the sake of continuing to provide so-called "core services." No one can guarantee every resident is healthy. Especially for COVID-19, the asymptomatic infection cases have been reported all over the world. Also, a crowded environment will accelerate the speed of infection, as indicated in the case of Diamond Princess in Japan. It's every student's right to stay where he/she wishes to be in the face of this unprecedented global crisis. And the University should be here to support us rather than making new troubles. We consider the University's sudden advice about consolidating students together as irresponsibility and can't see any respect from the University towards the tenant agreements we sign with them. We urge the University of London stopping the consolidating action at once!!!495 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Feng He

Provision of public toiletsThe bill was an answer to the Public Health England report ‘Taking the P**s’ which found that the lack of public toilets was a serious health issue. In light of the present Corona virus emergency, a large union has highlighted the fact that there are insufficient public toilets where the public could wash their hands.106 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ian Winstanley
