People born with 22q can have upto 180 medical issues. There are only very few 22q clinics that are for children in the UK. DiGeorge Syndrome is either having part missing chromosome 22q or having duplicated chromosome 22q. Within these clinics you get seen under Cardiology, Immunology, Psychology, Peadiatrics 22q specialists and referrals are made to multiple clinics there after if needed. Everyone with DiGeorge syndrome is affected differently and it's difficult to predict how severe the condition will be. Most children survive into adulthood. As someone with DiGeorge syndrome gets older, some symptoms such as heart and speech problems tend to become less of an issue, but behavioural, learning and mental health problems can continue to affect daily life. Many of those who reach adulthood will have a relatively normal life span, but ongoing health problems can sometimes mean life expectancy is a bit lower than normal. It's important to attend regular check-ups so that any problems can be spotted and treated early on. Having a 22q clinic for adults means they would be receiving lifelong checks and it could help improve health and have longer life expectancies. Just because turning the age of 18 doesn’t take away DiGeorge Syndrome or it’s health effects. It’s so important it is valued in all ages. Some young adults are experiencing mental health issues and having a clinic to observe and support them who have great understanding of the condition would be extremely beneficial. DiGeorge syndrome can cause a range of problems, but most people won't have all of these. Some of the most common issues are: learning and behaviour problems – including delays in learning to walk or talk, learning disabilities and problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism speech and hearing problems – including temporary hearing loss due to frequent ear infections, being slow to start talking and having a "nasal-sounding" voice mouth and feeding problems – including a gap in the top of the mouth or lip (cleft lip or palate), difficulty feeding and sometimes bringing food back up through the nose heart problems – some children and adults have heart defects from birth (congenital heart disease) hormone problems – an underactive parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism) is common and can lead to problems such as shaking (tremors) and seizures (fits) Other possible problems include: a higher risk of picking up infections – such as ear infections, oral thrush and chest infections – because the immune system (the body's natural defence against illness) is weaker than normal bone, muscle and joint problems – including leg pains that keep coming back, an unusually curved spine (scoliosis) and rheumatoid arthritis short stature – children and adults may be shorter than average mental health problems – adults are more likely to have problems such as schizophrenia and anxiety disorders.

It will undermine competition in the market for groceries thereby allowing food prices to be raised and damaging consumers need for value in a market which is so important to living standards.

This campaign is important because currently, the population is getting unhealthier, sports clubs are shutting due to a lack of funding and, when sports clubs are still running, their function is hindered by poor facilities. Sports clubs across the country will have suffered this past winter due to snow, causing waterlogging and concurrent damage to pitches and playing fields. Where is the incentive for people to go out and exercise, playing a sport that they love, if the facilities hinder the enjoyment of the game? This is the crying shame facing sport in our country, that there’s billions of pounds being passed around the elite, but everyday the sport-loving public have to cope with sports clubs struggling to survive from month to month. Let’s change this!

Children cross this road twice a day, at minimum, either going to or coming home from school. It’s a very busy road with cars coming round the corners and not slowing down for pedestrians crossing. Regularly there is a build up of pedestrians waiting to cross with nowhere safe to do so

The Motorsport Company has put on the Drag Race for 20 years held on the historical North Wealds airfield.. The event is well managed and only runs just once a month in the summer months. These events are to be kept running as it keeps the community together and a great social experience. Not forgetting the financial support for the airfield. After meetings and feed back from the villagers it has been positive untill 1 person complained and Epping Council have refused the licence .. We know for years property investors / companies have been trying to push the council for home building agreement.

Single use plastic - especially straws are a major contributor to damaging effects on our planet. Pollutting the seas, harming wildlife, generally being s complete menace to nature.

Penderyn Primary School is on a busy A road. Currently there are no safety barriers in place. There is nothing to prevent the children from running straight into the road when entering or leaving school. There is no physical barrier to protect the children from the busy road. Our children's safety is at risk!

Network Rail are, without any public consultation, felling trees growing within 60 metres of the track in huge numbers - up to 10 million trees could be at risk of being cut down. The trees are being cut down to prevent potential railway blocking due to fallen tree limbs and leaves. But Network Rail are refusing to make the plans public, and have not consulted over the plans which could see tens of thousands of healthy, mature trees cut down. This destroys habitats for wildlife, and is being done during the nesting season of many bird species, which has been heavily criticised by RSPB. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/apr/29/millions-of-trees-at-risk-in-secretive-network-rail-felling-programme

Skateboarding, scootering and associated activities are hugely popular with young people. There is a high demand for somewhere safe and exciting in the town for skaters to use. At present, most skaters use the station car park. They deserve something better. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that provision of resources like skate parks greatly reduces youth crime and unrest, which benefits the local community and contributes to making towns more vibrant places to live.

The importance of this school to it's pupils and their parents is clear from their personal testimonies - This is a unique setting for our medal winning sportswomen and men of the future and present, many of the children at PSS will struggle to find schools with the same provisions, not only in sport, but the SEN support that's available. Dispite a recent disappointing OFSTED report (that we feel does not reflect the diverse work being done at Plymouth Studio School), children are thriving here.
