A new Jarrow Crusade is passing through Sheffield later this August. The marchers are campaigning to save our NHS. You can read all about the march here. Started by a group of mums from Darlington concerned at the growing privatisation of the NHS, they want a return to Nye Bevan’s founding principles, which were to provide medical care free at point-of-need to all Britons.
The important local dates are
Monday 25th August: March from Barnsley to Sheffield, rally in Weston Park in the afternoon
Tuesday 26th August:Rally outside Sheffield Town Hall in the morning including speech from Councillor Jillian Creasy then march to Chesterfield.
You can register to join the march for 1 mile, 10 miles or the whole 300! We will have more details nearer the time but to find out more visit http://999callfornhs.org.uk
