I am a twenty year old student in Cardiff, who is trying to raise as much money as possible which will enable me to volunteer in Romania. When I arrive, I will be part of a group of 9 others who will be working at a children’s orphanage that cares for the mentally and physically disabled. The project has been running for 20 years, and this summer will be the most important yet. So far we have built a school for the disabled; a hostel for teenagers; money to maintain the staff; but most importantly we shall be giving them the love, care and attention they so desperately deserve. With just one carer to every 60 children, our time is truly valued. Thank you in advance, Kind regards, Chloe Stock Epiphany Trust is a registered charity Registration No. 1006653 John Kennedy CBE DL Rt. Rev.

Does this mean existing schemes could be wound up? This could result in big losses as these trust are set to mature over an 18 year period -so by closing them early you increase the risk of getting less out than you've put in. So could you clarify whether your proposal would effect existing child trust funds. Show less »

Looking into her voting record on gay rights we can see that she has voted - opposing the abolition of Section 28 - against lowering the age of consent in homosexual relationships to 16 - against gay adoption rights - against Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill which would give lesbian couples the ability to receive fertility treatment. Hardly a fighter for equal rights. As one of your constituents I would like your thoughts on her appointment. Show less »

Show more »One. Would the liberal party remove the current charity commission right, to examine complaints against charities in secret ? and to put in its place elected grass root users of services as a panel instead, who would be allowed to publish findings for public scrutiny, and identify charities that are being complained about ? The secrecy is undermining confidence in a fair system. Two: Would the liberal party consider removing the specialist minister for charities and replace them with a panel of users and carers instead, to determine if a charity, is adhering to or abusing its remit, given a number are undermining private endeavour, via charitable tax concessions whilst still hiring corporate professionals ? Should not grass root services be given the same tax exemptions ? To be part of everything we ALL need the same rights and power, users of charitable services do not have ANY rights at present to challenge the way funding is given, or, how it is used. Consultation is at an all time low, and the power to challenge non-extant. Mervyn James (Newport, Wales) Show less »

What do you think about the Digital Economy Bill, and the general reaction from the public?
Submitted by: Thiefree | 6 votes for this..
0 comments | Topic: Science and Technology |
I was very disappointed that the Digital Economy Bill was pushed through Parliament at the last minute thanks to a coalition of the Labour and Tory parties, who completely ignored the Lib Dems warnings about the dangers of not properly consulting on many of the plans.
There were a number of elements in the Bill that were important to get through, but others were far too rushed, too controversial and didn’t have the opportunity for proper public debate and consultation. The Lib Dems voted against the Bill at the Third Reading and have consistently opposed the Labour and Conservative web-blocking amendment in both the Commons and the Lords.
I completely understand the general reaction of the public. I have had a huge number of e-mails on this issue, all very angry at the Government’s decision to push through the Bill with very little debate and without proper votes.
Has any progress been made for the TaintedBlood Victims?Especially Hep C sufferers.

As you may know this is something I have been working on for a number of years now. I have been extremely disappointed by the Government’s refusal first of all to set up an inquiry and then to implement the recommendations of the independent report chaired by Lord Archer. I am still fighting to get people infected with HIV and Hepatitis C the compensation and justice they deserve.
I met the Minister responsible in the Autumn and was frustrated by how little she was prepared to move on the Archer recommendations, but Government moves slowly and I was glad to see that in the week before Parliament was dissolved they finally decided to move forward the review of compensation payments for those with Hepatitis C from 2014 to later this year. Hopefully this will see better compensation for those affected and in a much more realistic time frame.
Finally, the Lib Dem manifesto includes a commitment to create a working group to determine compensation for the victims and their families. We are the only major party to include any reference to the scandal in our manifesto and I’m proud that we are committed to putting right this wrong.

I think it is fantastic that people are finally recognising that the Lib Dems offer a real alternative to the two old parties of Labour and the Conservatives. The Rage Against the Machine campaign for the Christmas Number One showed how the internet is able to bring people together in a common cause to get the outcome they want. I’m just pleased that that power has been put to work in support of the Lib Dems. As for taking advantage of it, I think the group speaks for itself, rather than something that should be controlled by or interfered with by the party. It is independent, that it what makes it so powerful.

Since I don’t know your particular circumstances, it is difficult to comment in detail, but your MP is best placed to help with JobCentre Plus. For the next two days there are no MPs, but from Friday onwards, when the election has taken place, the best thing to do is speak to your MP and ask them to contact JCP for you to find out what support you can access and any specific schemes there are in your area. If I am re-elected this week, you are welcome to then contact me on info@jennywillott.com.

I read in theObserver 23.08.09 of your involvement in and concern about the CRB checks issue. I would ask if you will do everything you can to get rid of the sheer stupidity, cost and frustration , of the need for an individual to have separate CRB clearance for being employed in the same line of work in different locations.I have friends here in my area who work for several Residential Care Homes often under the direction of an agency. Each individual post requires a separate submission. Contrary to the Observer article`s intimation, it is the indivual, low-paid person who must pay for these CRB checks and suffer the delays that are inherent in a flawed system. What if we all needed to apply for a separate passport for each different country we visited? The stupidity is self-evident. Power to your elbow Jenny. Show less »

I totally agree with you that the current CRB system is an administrative nightmare. While it is very important that people working with children, older people or vulnerable people go through proper checks, requiring people to have a separate check for each separate place they work is a waste of time, waste of money and will only discourage people who are wiling to give up their time in a voluntary capacity. I have been contacted by supply teachers who need a separate CRB check for each local authority area in which they work, which is daft, particularly in a compact area like South Wales or Greater London, where it is normal to work across a number of council areas. Not only is it a nightmare for the individual applicant, but it also creates far more work than is necessary for the Criminal Records Bureau and costs a huge amount of money. We have included a pledge in our manifesto to reform the CRB system so that people only require one, portable, Criminal Records Check. This is a firm promise and something we are totally committed to doing.
