Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland
On
Saturday 7th December, the NEU came together as a local and regional
force to support the Guisborough Super Saturday event. We campaigned with our
clear general election message - Vote Education. As activists we made our
presence felt, and reminded voters of their responsibility to protect the
futures of our youngest and brightest.
Following
a campaign morning, we escaped indoors to hear from three wonderful speakers,
who each brought with them an inspiring message. Lucy Cuzzocrea, a local
parent, told of how her daughter has just started in reception, this year, in
St. Paulinus. She spoke passionately about how ‘St. Paulinus is a fantastic
school and we’re so lucky to have it on our doorstep. They have a similar ethos
to me, for creativity, child-led learning, and outdoor play. I couldn’t be
happier with this. But despite this they are struggling because their finances
have been cut to the bone by the government.’
No longer
can we sit by and allow cuts to continue, and that is something we as a union
have to continue to fight for in the coming years.
