UNISON Southend-on-Sea members and Save Our Southend NHS campaigners at the Our NHS is 70 Celebration & Demonstration in London on Saturday 30th June, 2018.

Join us today (12:00–2:20, 5 July) in celebrating the 70th year of our beloved NHS.

We will be on the green opposite Southend A&E with our celebration cake (plus many other cakes) which we will present to the staff as a huge thank you for all that they are, and all that they do 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep us well.

We will be singing, dancing, and celebrating for 140 minutes, 2 minutes for every year that we have had the privilege of our wonderful NHS.

We will continue our fight to preserve it for everyone, our children, and our children’s children.
