Why this petition matters

Started by Katie Kendrick

The BBC’s award winning Victoria Derbyshire programme is set to be axed due to BBC cutbacks.

Victoria has delivered exceptional award-winning journalism over the years; representing the marginalised in our society and reaching audiences many others struggles to get to.

Victoria Derbyshire has given a voice to so many people in our society including:

  • Survivors of historic sexual abuse
  • Children's care system & young people's mental health
  • Poverty

The list really is endless. That’s why I’m urgently calling on the BBC to reconsider their decision.

This is VITAL journalism that brought with it campaigning and integrity to important social issues. It is a lifeline to ordinary people 

I was once a guest on the show and spoke about leaseholders trapped in the Leasehold Scandal. The Victoria Derbyshire team gave me a voice, supported me and others affected in what could have been a very daunting experience. 

Please sign this petition.

Victoria Derbyshire has given a voice to so many, now is the time to have your voices collectively heard.
