We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Place a cap on charity wages and bonuses.
Stop high salaries and bonuses being given to individuals that are in excess of the National Average Wage (£34,963 in 2023).
More details
To stop individuals taking advantage of people and animals that can be considered vulnerable or in a vulnerable position, such as war or natural disaster. To see a far bigger portion go to those that need help, rather than the vast amount going on administration and wages. The aim of any person in a charity should be to make their position redundant, not make a living out of other's misfortune.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of individual charities.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
