Thanks so much to everyone who's signed and shared our petition - it means a lot to have your support. Rights for Residents has achieved so much in just two weeks. Before we started, the issue of restricted care home visits wasn't even on the media agenda. 

We've already featured on BBC North West, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Merseyside (twice), LBC Radio and had two stories in the Liverpool Echo. Our own MP Maria Eagle has backed our campaign live on the radio and is helping to raise this among parliamentarians. Many of our members are getting their own MPs on board and the campaign message is getting through. The issue was also covered on the Jeremy Vine Show and Radio 4 last week.

In order to move our campaign up a gear and gain national media coverage which will increase public awareness we need your support. We urgently need campaign funds to produce a professional video, website etc that can be shared with national media platforms and via social media. Even a small donation will help to cover campaign overheads. If you would like to help reunite families with their loved ones in care homes this is the link: Go Fund Me - Can't Smile Without You!

Many thanks - Jenny & Diane at Right for Residents
