The best way to learn to lipread is through regular classes by a qualified tutor. However an RNID report found that in England there are too few classes and many people with a hearing loss are unable to attend. Many classes have closed and many more are threatened with closure. This is because the vital skill of lipreading is classified as a ‘leisure’ activity meaning that little central funding is available to run the classes and learners are expected to pay high fees.

RNID, the charity taking action on hearing loss, is calling on the Government to reclassify lipreading as an ‘essential’ skill so more people can attend a class that is available at little to no cost to them.

Please sign our petition to show your support for people with a hearing loss to have access to learn this vital skill or their communication and encourage others to do so.

GAFCON was organized in response to the spread of wrongful theological teachings and practices within the Anglican Communion, demonstrated and symbolised by the ordination and consecration of people in active same-sex relationships and the formal blessing of same-sex unions, though by no means confined to these issues.

At the end of the Conference the Jerusalem Statement and Declaration were issued, which may be found here, and should be read before signing this petition.

On the 1st July 2008, two meetings took place at All Souls Church, Langham Place, England, the first for incumbents and other church leaders in the Church of England, the second particularly for members of Parochial Church Councils.

Arising from this, it was decided that an online petition should be made available for individuals and groups such as PCCs to indicate to the wider Anglican community the degree of support there is for the GAFCON movement within England.

THIS IS THE INDIVIDUAL PETITION.

Please only sign this petition if you are a member of the Church of England in England itself.

If you are living outside England and wish to sign the petition, go here.

The families of the clients who attend the The Orchard; are very upset about the proposed closure of the centre (and subsequent merger with the Byfleet Centre) by the Alzheimers Society. The merger will pose a number of problems for families and clients alike, these include (but not limited to):

• The availability of spaces. With the closure of the Woking, Dorking, Cranleigh, and Chertsey centres; demand will out-strip supply. With the merger of these services there clearly will not be enough spaces to cater for all existing clients;

• There are question marks about the suitability of the building in Byfleet (i.e. one large room, with no 'breakout' areas for quiet activities for those who become distressed in large groups;

• Disruption caused to vulnerable clients which may lead to challenging behavior and some families having no alternative but to place loved ones in residential care.

As the number of dementia sufferers is set to rise to 1 million by 2025 and double every 20 years, we need to keep these vital services running.

Such instant suspensions were enabled to be used in exceptional circumstances where it was considered that a member has behaved in an extreme manner against membership rules.

In the past this has resulted in maybe a dozen people each year being automatically, instantly suspended using this mechanism. In the past year it has been used for EVERY SINGLE SITUATION where a complaint has been made. The system has been abused and has no respect for Due Process and Natural Justice.

Now the Labour Party have sent letters to many of those suspended saying the suspension is lifted BUT extraordinarily they ASSUME GUILT and without any right of a hearing they warn the person not to do it again, and that this warning is left on file! We have seen many situations where the alleged evidence used to make these decisions have not been properly attributed, and have the member has not been given a chance to question the evidence. Every person we have heard from who has received this is refusing to accept the Warning and is now demanding Due Process and the right to a Hearing.

Again we are astonished at the lack of deference to Natural Justice and the lack of care to members profoundly affected by this. If you would like to see a cross section of such cases then visit here:

These patrols ensure safety for our children on a daily basis.

The centre, in Havant Road, is staffed by specialists and offers a place for people aged 0-18 to stay overnight, giving parents and carers much needed rest and relaxation.

It also offers a one-to-one overnight care service, where 13 youngsters can stay.

But the city council is reviewing its future.

In the last year, 49 young people used Beechside, staying a total of 1,265 nights.

Portsmouth City Council, which spends £722,000 per year on the home - an average cost of £570 per child per night - says it will not make any decision until after October 1, when all questionnaires must be returned.

But in a report by, the council's head of children and young people's wellbeing, he said the centre did not 'provide good value for money'.

Alternatives being considered include modifying the centre, using private care firms to provide overnight stays, and building a new centre.

The council's strategic director for children's services, said: 'We're consulting with parents on their views about which services best meet their needs. It isn't an isolated review of Beechside, or a budget saving exercise, but a review of our support to families. We're committed to supporting families caring for children with significant needs. There are no plans to reduce the amount of money we spend on these services. Our plans will be driven by parents' views.'

It's been proved in endless raid that children hang around in these cafes and once raided are taken home and parents told. Some of these place have been reported for sexual exploitation of minors.

Our children deserve protecting, If an age limit was put on these places it would give the police and legal system grounds to close them far easier than they have now.
