🚢 Support Our Islanders – Sign & Share the Petition
Imagine living on a small island, with no bridge or road to the mainland – just a ferry. Now imagine your wife is in hospital miles away, and every visit means navigating ferry schedules, paying costly fares, and dealing with delays – all while carrying the emotional weight of her illness.
This is the reality for many in Orkney and other island communities.
One man, whose wife is currently in hospital, must endure this exact struggle. The stress of her illness is heavy enough – yet he faces the added pressure of expensive, limited ferry travel just to be by her side.
This isn't just inconvenient – it's inhumane.
We’re calling on the government to extend fair, free ferry concessions to island residents, just as people on the mainland get free bus travel.
🔹 Ferries are our lifeline.
🔹 They’re our buses, our trains, our only way in and out.
🔹 We deserve equal treatment.
💥 Please SIGN the petition. SHARE it with your friends, family, neighbours – even those on the mainland. Every signature counts. Every voice helps.
📢 Let’s make sure our islands aren’t forgotten.
