Infected Blood: Westminster Action Day

"Infected Blood: Westminster Action Day" on Tuesday 5th December.

This is a day dedicated to demanding the government act now on Sir Brian's second interim report. We will visit the relevant government departments and Downing Street.

We need as many boots on the ground as possible. Your presence strengthens our collective voice, clearly conveying that we will not stand silently. Meet fellow advocates, share your stories, and support the bonds within our community. Whether you are new or old to these events, we invite you to stand shoulder to shoulder with others who understand the importance of this cause and are committed to fighting for justice.
