Honour a woman who more than deserves to be, Susan Jane Evelyn Doughty.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Discuss a points based system for public honours, with clear guidance on how they are accumulated.
Here is a woman who has dedicated nearly 20 years of her life to mental health by forming and self funding a charity, long before the area had the exposure it has now.

If the statistic are to be believed, that 1 in 7 people attempt the unthinkable if they don't get access to counselling when they need it, then a claim that this woman has helped save hundreds of lives is not an unreasonable suggestion.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

You can find out how to nominate someone for an honour at http://www.gov.uk/honours
