Over the past decade, society at large has become increasingly conscious of how its decisions and consumption have had a negative impact upon the planet and its wildlife.We’ve ditched plastic bags, we’re eating less meat – the number of vegans in the UK has quadrupled to 600,000 since 2014 – and we’re being more conscious when it comes to fashion and beauty.

It is with great sadness then that the EPDA has decided not to lead a global #UniteForParkinsons campaign in 2019. There are a number of important reasons for this, and if you want more information, please email worldpdday@epda.eu.com.

On 26 May 2018, I sat checking my phone as I waited for the result of Ireland’s abortion referendum. I am pro-choice, and at Nopebook HQ, we had a fundraising campaign in place knowing that, whatever the result, the law wouldn’t change immediately. Knowing that Irish people would still need to access safe and legal abortions in the UK. Knowing that they would need help covering the ensuing costs. We had been campaigning for our Irish siblings, and we were nervous. The result came in. Yes. Rep

NBC has confirmed that Brooklyn Nine Nine will move to the network after Fox announced on 10 May that it would not be renewing the show for a sixth season – and despite a loud online campaign from fans. The hashtag #RenewB99 trended on Twitter worldwide following the announcement, as fans and celebrities alike express their bitter disappointment at losing the much-loved programme.

Activism has more or less surrounded my personality, my being, for my entire adult life. Perhaps it was solidified when I undertook my first piece of volunteer work, or when I went on my first march. Maybe it goes all the way back to my first Blue Peter Bring and Buy sale at age eleven, when I commandeered a school classroom and flogged my classmates’ old crap to raise money for charity.

Georgia Sanders & Hannah Bundock, in conversation on the constant comments about their reproductive lives. ‘When are you going to start trying?’, ‘Will we be hearing the patter of little feet soon?’ ‘You’d make a great Mum’… Hands up who’s sick of hearing this type of thing? HB: I certainly am and no one’s even saying it to me at the moment! I’ve already popped out a sprog so the pressure cooker has been turned down a notch for me, but for the childless mid twenties woman, there is just so muc

Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of eating disorders and depression. It is spat like venom, mouthed across rooms, and even gasped in horror. One syllable that has engulfed conversation after conversation, has pulled focus of the masses. “I feel so fat,” someone says after a large meal. “She’s a fat bitch,” friends snipe behind the backs of their foes. “I could never wear something like that, I’m too fat,” we say cruelly to ourselves. Diet and exercise, they say. 70% diet, 30%

Whether you’ve been left reeling from or celebrating the result of the US election, one thing is for certain – President-elect Donald Trump remained the underdog in the eyes of pollsters until the bitter end.
