CANDLELIT VIGIL FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY GOVERNMENT FUNDING CUTS

Members of Lancaster and Morecambe Against the Cuts, in partnership with local charities and faith groups, are planning a candlelit vigil in solidarity with those who will be most affected by cuts to care.

• Time – Tuesday 1st March, 6pm - 6.30pm
• Place to gather –Dalton Square, Lancaster
• No ‘speeches’ and no march – just a few minutes silence to consider the real implications of the cuts, then we’ll stand on the side of Dalton Square visible to the road with a banner that reads something like "Cuts to care are killing me, honk if you agree."

Please advertise this event as you feel able, and come and join us if you can.
