🚨 Unite the union is calling on Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to reverse plans to close its specialist early pregnancy loss and gynaecology counselling service.

This unique service provides expert support to women and families experiencing pregnancy loss and other complex gynaecological issues at some of the most difficult moments in their lives.

The proposed closure would leave many patients without access to the specialist counselling and emotional support they need.

Unite believes this invaluable service must be protected and is urging the Trust to reconsider its decision.

❤️ Some services are simply too important to lose.

✊ Change Grow Live workers are fighting for fair pay after years of falling real-terms pay while continuing to provide vital support to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

The support shown so far has been incredible, but we need to keep building momentum.

📢 Please take a moment to leave a message of support for CGL workers. Your message will help show that workers across our movement and communities stand with them in their fight for fairness.

❤️ Solidarity matters. A few words can make a real difference.

🚨 Change Grow Live workers took to the streets today to send a clear message: Fair Pay Cannot Wait.

These are the workers supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, helping those facing challenges with drugs, alcohol, mental health, homelessness and more. Yet many frontline staff are paid little more than the minimum living wage while workloads continue to grow.

Today’s demonstration showed the determination of CGL workers to secure the fair pay they deserve.

📢 You can help.
Please take a moment to email your MP and ask them to support fair pay for CGL workers and help prevent industrial action. ⬇️

Every email makes a difference. Every voice matters.

✊ Stand with CGL workers! ✊ Stand for fair pay!
