Hello supporters!

We are looking to bring a diverse selection of Directors together for informal  Zoom meetings with Georgia, who is a photographer and filmmaker,  and wants to tell our story powerfully.

If you'd like to get involved and help us to humanise the impact of Government policy, please send an email to: fairdealforeveryone@gmail.com

Thanks in advance for your support. We will get the support we deserve soon - with your help. Many thanks.  Amanda

PLEASE KEEP LOBBYING YOUR MP's

Individual (Conservative) MPs have to be told that this policy may determine how people vote next time round. “The Party of Small Business has abandoned Small Business”. If 335,000 people sent that message to their MPs, that might get some movement! They will all be talking to each other as (virtual) Parliament resumes.
