CAMPAIGNERS from the Isle of Wight will travel to London next weekend to celebrate 70 years of the NHS.

The People’s Assembly Against Austerity will hold a day of celebration and demonstration in support of the NHS next Saturday, June 30.

The theme will be: ‘The NHS at 70: free, for all, forever.’

The Isle of Wight Save Our NHS group has organised a coach to take Islanders to the protest, leaving Newport at 7.15am and returning from London at 4pm.

The coach is free although Unison will gratefully accept donations towards the cost.

Places canbe booked by emailing Christine Lightbody at c_lightbody@hotmail.com or calling 299432 or 07790504598 .
