Adeyinka / Toyin / My name is Toyin Adeyinka and I'm currently a Steering Committee member. I’m a mother of a young child, and since joining the committee I've also become the vice chair of the MSLC (Maternity Services Liaison Committee) and this has allowed me to support and understand other issues that affect our local community.Bacchus / Tamsin / Law background and work for Lewisham Pensioners Forum (so coordinating campaign storage and some printing); work contacts throughout the Borough. Involved in anti-marketisation work. Am keen to continue fighting for the NHS.
Cruise / Kathy / There is continuing far reaching cuts and privatisation of our NHS. Having worked as a Nurse for over 30 years I want to continue campaigning for a well-run and adequately funded health service that serves our needs and continues to be respected worldwide.
Downes / Anita / I'm a nurse working at Lewisham hospital. I'm also branch secretary of the Unite branch there. I've been involved in the campaign since its formation. I've missed some meetings recently as our third child was born in Lewisham in April,but am returning to campaigning now.
Fisher / Brian / I work in the NHS, use it and want to protect it from threats from many sources. I have chaired a subgroup for the Campaign through which we have launched community-wide initiatives focusing on the privatisation aspects of procurement, PFI and community care. I want to continue making a difference.
Mandlik / Jane / As a retired local government officer I have the time and background needed for active and informed support of SLHC. I have investigated PFI issues and delivered a paper to the Campaign’s conference; had 3 letters published in The Guardian and am currently pursuing proper scrutiny of governance of Health services.
Lewis / Gillian / I wish to continue strengthening the relationship between the campaign and the faith groups. Likewise, I played a key role in the vulture and animation which were conceived as part of ongoing fight against hospital closures. I passionately believe in our NHS and right to healthcare and will continue doing everything I can to protect it and our hospital.
Monro / Stuart / The Lewisham Campaign is unique in my experience – for its single minded dedication to fighting for the people it represents and the NHS as a whole, for the wealth of talent and commitment involved, for its vision of the world as it should be. I would like to continue to contribute to its work.
Mountford / Jill / Started sorting banners etc. for the November 2012 demo, involved with most SLH activities since. Involved in national activities/campaigns to defend the NHS too. I have been involved in campaigning since Greenham in my late teens and am totally cool with the ideas of Workers' Liberty.
