Thank you to all our #FairChanceDerby supporters - your backing helped us to mobilise on rising poverty and the cost of living crisis, to gain media coverage and to secure a motion passed at Derby City Council in May. 

However, we knew that passing the motion was only the first step. Since May we have been chasing updates on progress. Sadly the Council has not yet implemented the motion's 3 action points including an urgent action plan involving local anti-poverty groups. We continue to hold the Council accountable, to raise public awareness including via local media, and to urge action. Help us to keep the pressure up with people power - please share the petition, spread the word and ask your friends to sign too. You can also contact your local Councillor - it's easy to find and e-mail your local representative by popping your postcode and message on this free website: https://www.writetothem.com
