Open Petition since 12th December 2024

Reverse Cadet Forces Funding Cuts by Min of Defence and the Dept of Education. - 16,706 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,359 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

The govt have recently halved funding to State School Cadet units and Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Allowances. This is leading to reductions in activities and we think having a highly destructive impact on young people across the UK. We think this particularly impacts those from poorest backgrounds.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd January 2025 (View Full Response)
Resource constraints have impacted across all areas of Education and Defence including support to Cadet activity. Cadet funding is kept under review and must be balanced against other priorities.

Stop deep-sea mining - Final Signatures: 35,036

We ask the UK Government to protect the ocean and commit to preventing the start of deep-sea mining.

Many other governments around the world have said they do not support deep-sea mining and are implementing a ‘precautionary pause’, or have called for a moratorium.

Engaging fully with international negotiations is the most effective approach, so that no deep-sea mining takes place in the absence of strong and enforceable environmental regulations and standards.
