There is a growing movement on Facebook that is gaining pace daily. People from across the UK and beyond are pledging to light up the skies with lanterns (similar to those featured in the photo above) in protest at the unfairness of the Family Law Court system.
Christmas Eve at 22:00hrs will see the skies of the UK lit up with these lanterns. Each lantern will represent a child that is denied access to one or other parent this Christmas time. Many intend to light these lanterns outside of court buildings or other offices that have been influential in determining where a child spends Christmas. Social Services, Cafcass and solicitors offices will not be immune. However it is not compulsory to release these lanterns outside of these offices and they can be let off wherever you might find yourself at 22:00hrs on Christmas Eve.
The costs of these lanterns varies from store to store and wherever you may live. They range from £1 to approximately £5. It is hoped that the majority of these lanterns will be biodegradable and therefore not harm the environment!
If you are reading this and you live in the Plymouth area and you do not want to light your lantern on your own, please let me know and if possible we can arrange to do this together somewhere. How about Plymouth Hoe or Central park if not outside the court buildings?
