Keep our NHS Public

People's march for the NHS

Jarrow to Trafalgar Square, London, 16 August – 6 September 2014

Following in the historic footsteps of the original Jarrow Crusade of a cold October 1936 morning we replicated the crusade. Our resolve just as strong as theirs. Our focus, to keep our NHS, guides us as we, the ordinary folk, march from Jarrow into London.

Keep up with the progress of the campaign at www.keepournhspublic.com and 999callfornhs.org.uk

Keep our NHS safe
