Living, laughing and loving. Doing my little bit to raise awareness and funds for the amazing research at @ICR_London. Find me in the trees @_JustaTree

Today’s flowers. All in jars, large and small. Just for 2 regular customers ❤️💐
Hotting up here again and no rain, so I’ll definitely be having to water tonight.
I hope you’ve had a good day and have a lovely weekend to look forward to 🤞💐
Cheers 🥂

Workers at the ICR are on strike for the first time in the institution's history. Staff fighting cancer deserve better than second-rate pay.

Join our letter-writing campaign and ask Julia Buckingham, Chair of Trustees, to publicly support ICR workers! https://t.co/JpK1LVAHko

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Following #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay yesterday, we hit the streets to ask the public what they know about motor neurone disease.

The results might surprise you.

Remembering dad.
1939 - 1994.

Lost too soon to motor neurone disease.

Support vital research @mndassoc to bring the hope of a cure for this brutal disease #mnd #fathersday

Today I'm with @ICR_London Unite members who are fighting for fair pay.

The ICR might be a world-leading scientific centre of excellence, but when it comes to how it treats its staff it is at the bottom of the pile.

Unite supports members 100%.✊

[Steve Wright @UnionSteveW]

Today I joined @UniteLondonEast members on the picket line at the Institute of Cancer Research.

Firefighters know the importance of cancer research all too well. The @WHO classifies firefighting as a class 1 carcinogenic occupation, and firefighters face elevated rates of cancer as a result of the job we do.

The staff carrying out and supporting vital research into cancer deserve more than warm words. They deserve fair pay, decent wages and respect.

Solidarity with @ICR_London workers taking action for pay justice from the @fbunational.

"We fight cancer every day, we can't do it on low pay"

Solidarity to @UniteLondonEast workers at @ICR_London striking for fair wages.

Not so long ago, it was rare to see voluntary sector workers taking industrial action. But recent years have seen Unite members all across the not-for-profit sector organising and winning better pay and conditions.

[Unite London & Eastern @UniteLondonEast]

They would rather be in the lab but this is important.

Unite members at @ICR_London are standing up for fair pay, respect, and investment in the workers behind cancer research. We're not backing down.

[Keep Our NHS Public @keepnhspublic]

Staff at the Institute for Cancer Research have gone on strike over poor pay and working conditions. They're demanding a 16% pay rise to make up for their real-terms pay cut since 2019, proper access to pension schemes and that staff at their Sutton site be provided proper access to food and eating space.

KONP were proud to join today's strike rally in Kensington, and urge people to send messages of support!

How it started! 👇

🥼 Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) workers presented a petition backing their pay claim in December.

[Unite London & Eastern @UniteLondonEast]

How it's going 👉 Strike action will begin on Wednesday, with further dates throughout June.

After years of below-inflation pay rises, many staff are earning little more than the London Living Wage. With management refusing to move on pay, workers will be on the picket lines.

@ambientabbot Oh no! So sorry you had to go through that. Take care, rest, and best wishes for a swift recovery x

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment so things have been pretty tough- if you could spare a few moments to RT my post about the prints of my photos in my Etsy shop (previous tweet) it would help to maybe put my shop in front of a few extra eyes.
Thankyou so much 🌿
