National Demonstration in London

National Demonstration in London
An event will take place in London on March 26th, where it is hoped thousands of people from across the country will come together to show their opposition to government cuts.

The organisers have provided a second assembly point for the event around the Green Park area; approx 30 minutes walk from Hyde Park. This has been designated specifically for those with mobility problems.

Norfolk Coalition of Disabled People are working with the Norfolk Coalition Against Cuts to arrange transport to this event.
An accessible coach is being booked with room for a number of wheelchairs.

If you would be interested in attending and being part of NCODP’s presence in this march, and would like to use this coach, please contact us as soon as possible to ensure your space.

Caring

Caring

There’s a lot more to caring than knowing
There’s a lot more to caring than saying
There’s a lot more to caring than thinking
You can ‘know’ you care
Think you care
Convince yourself you care, even think that you genuinely care
But that really isn’t fair
If your actions don’t match
The attitude of caring
The attitude of loving
It’s more

It’s more than those who love you
More than those who care for you
It’s the ones who don’t
It’s the ones you don’t know
It’s those, it’s them, they need you most
You can’t just walk away
Caring is more than something you can think about
You can’t be compassionate and ignore a need
You can’t fulfill every need
Where is compassion?

Liverpool Council Leader says cuts are “heartbreaking”

Liverpool Council Leader says cuts are “heartbreaking”

« on: Today at 05:29:16 PM »

Liverpool City Council’s leader has said having to find savings of £91m has been “absolutely heartbreaking”.

Labour leader Joe Anderson said he was “so angry and so devastated” at decisions the council has had to make.

Cuts revealed on Thursday will affect childrens’ services, leisure centres, libraries, and voluntary groups, and result in hundreds of job losses.

Mr Anderson said everyone in the city would be affected by cuts which are having to be made.

“When somebody says every family or every service within the city is going to be affected, they are absolutely right,” he said.

“And that’s why your roads won’t be getting cleansed as much as we want, there’ll be no street cleaning as much as you used to get.

“Libraries will have to reduce their hours or close, leisure centres will have to reduce their hours or close, the potholes won’t be getting filled.

“Every part of our life in this city is going to be affected.”
