Well there’s so much to tell you all about my trip to London this week! It was a packed trip and pretty tiring but we got to do so much and to see so many people. I’ve loads of photos to share with you and I’ll fill you in on the conversations I had with the people I met.
But first, something which all of you can do to help push this campaign higher up the parliamentary agenda....
Graham Jones my MP has tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) to raise awareness of the campaign amongst all the Members of Parliament. 17 have signed in support of this so far and you can see who they are here by following the link : http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2017-19/580
On Wednesday I had the opportunity of meeting with 17 MPs from across the political parties, each of whom wanted to assure me of their support for the campaign. Some had personal reasons why they felt strongly about it, some had family members or friends with similar needs to me, others had constituents in their areas who they knew through their own ChangingPlaces campaigning. Here are the MPs who I met and spoke to in person and each of them had their photo taken with me (and many have already retweeted their photo and comments):
Graham Jones
Debbie Abrahams
Maria Eagle
Kerry McCarthy
David Anderson
John McNally
Angela Eagle
Chris Law
Kevin Hollinrake
Rishi Sunak
Cat Smith
Julie Elliott
Nick Dakin
Andy McDonald
Mary Glindon
Ian Lucas
Tracy Brabin
If any of the above are your local MP please message, email or tweet them thanking them for their support, ask them to make sure they sign Graham Jones EDM number 580 and also ask them to speak to their MP colleagues to pass the word on. If they have twitter and/or Facebook accounts, which most do, please ask them to share the link to my petition on their page so that it reaches as many as possible.

If your MP is one of those who has already added their name in support of the EDM, onc3 again, please thank them for their support and ask them to pass the word on!
The profile of the campaign was raised considerably during my visit to London and this really is the end of the beginning rather than the beginning of the end! Let’s keep the support and enthusiasm going and reach that 150,000 goal before Christmas!
More news soon about London :)
Thanks everyone,
Zack
