HELP FIGHT CLOSURE OF RESPITE HOME

Ealing Council want to close Heller House, it is the only respite facility in the borough to offer this kind of support to disabled children and their families,
my own brother spent most of our childhood having respite there and I know it saved my family and so so many others, my brother is now 43 so Heller House has been helping families for many years and closing it would be so WRONG and would be disasterous for so many families
They are making the final decision on February 16th!

PLEASE sign and share this online petition to make them reconsider and look at another option

Signed. Respite is massively important. This kind of shit really pisses me off. Hope you get plenty of support.

Signed. We had a similar issue in our county a few years ago and the public pressure made the LA backtrack their decision and kept the respite home open.
Best of luck.

PLEASE keep signing and sharing the petition everywhere. If they do close Heller House Ealing Council plans to send all disabled children in the borough whose families deserately this respite, to HARROW and HOUNSLOW where there is surely enough demand from families in their own boroughs so many families will not be able to receive this vital support if that is the case and why should they have to send their children out of their home towns??
