The march began in Jarrow on the 16th August, organised by a group of mums concerned about the privatisation and break-up of the National Health Service and the introduction of the Health & Social Care Act which aims to remove the responsibility of the government to provide universal healthcare.

They are being supported in their march around the country by ordinary people who use, work and depend on an NHS run for people not profits; they aim to arrive in London on 6th September, highlighting their concerns all the way.

Please join the rally and encourage the marchers over these two days as we at Mansfield Save Our Services plus other local supporting groups will be doing.
