Mental health counsellors took their strike protest to Hellesdon Hospital, Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust's main site, today.

Take a moment today to mark the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.
It doesn’t commemorate a moment of enlightenment on behalf of the slavers, but the day Haitian slaves started to throw off their chains in 1791.
✊ Keep up the fight!
