Barnet UNISON invite all their members to Save the NHS
“Dear UNISON members including your family and friends
The NHS needs all of our support. Now is the time for all of us in London to stand up and fight for the NHS.
“Used by us, owned by us, loved by us. Now the NHS can only be saved by us.”
These are the words of a group of mums who desperately want to protect our country’s most treasured service, the NHS.
They started a march from Jarrow in the north east on 16th August and they want all of us to join them when they reach London on Saturday 6th September.
The march is called ‘999 Call for the NHS’.
The marchers are mums from Darlington who love our NHS and want to protect it. They will have walked nearly 300 miles over three weeks, through over 20 towns and cities in England by the time they reach Edmonton Green.
You can read more details about the march here.
Barnet UNISON will be waiting to meet and march with them from Edmonton Green to Central London.
You can choose where you want join up and support the NHS march and anyone can join.
