As well as this local organising, our three action teams continue to work to further their campaign goals. Our Work and Wages team shared the good news of a recent Living Wage victory, whilst the Mental Health team updated us on the progress of their co-produced session to tackle MH stigma which they're developing with Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
