Be made up as one of the walking wounded and join a rally to help protest the closures of A&Es and hospital services this weekend.

Make-up artists will be on-hand in Lyric Square, Hammersmith, to transform people before they travel to Trafalgar Square to join 10,000 protestors opposed to the cuts.

The marchers, led by a group of mothers from Darlington, have walked 300 miles from Jarrow to central London in three weeks, recreating the famous Jarrow Crusade of 1936 which led to the establishment of the Welfare State after the Second World War.

Campaigners fighting the closures of emergency departments and the downgrading of hospitals in west London can do their bit by joining them at their destination in Trafalgar Square.   

NHS bosses will close Central Middlesex and Hammersmith hospitals' A&Es on September 10, and plan to do the same and cut other services at Ealing and Charing Cross hospitals in the near future. 

Join protestors in Lyric Square at 12pm on Saturday to be made-up before everyone makes their way to cental London by public transport for the march at 3pm.
