It's Not Too Much to Ask Campaign
The system for providing vital equipment to sick, disabled and terminally
ill children in the UK is 'ready to collapse' because of a 'scandalous' lack
of funding and failing systems, according to Britain's leading birth defect
charity, BDF Newlife.
The charity has launched a campaign called "It's Not Too Much to Ask" to
bring the problem to the attention of the Government and is calling for the
establishment of a disabled children's tsar to oversee the establishment of
a new disabled child equipment provision regime.
The campaign aims to attract 250,000 signatures/names to a petition
calling for change - one name for every deprived child.
An electronic version of the petition is on the
BDF Newlife website and members of
the public can also text their support to make it easier to get their voices
heard. Text BDF (space) first name (space) surname (space) county to 87202.
