Online vigil for the NHS

3 portraits

As the government's controversial Health and Social Care Bill receives its third reading in the House of Commons, we're standing vigil to show Parliamentarians the level of concern around the country about the threats to our National Health Service.

Please join the vigil online by uploading a photograph of yourself to this site. We'll be combining the pictures into a powerful mosaic image, to use in lobbying Parliament. It only takes a minute from each of us, but will build into something much bigger.

Begin by uploading your image. Don't worry too much if the image needs editing - in the next step, you'll be able to crop it into a square.

Getting a great image:

  • We need portrait images, clearly showing your face, and ideally a bit more serious than the average Facebook profile pic.
  • If you've got an image with a dark background, it'd help us have a wider range of tones for the mosaic.
  • If you're able to go the extra mile and hold a candle for the vigil, or show your own NHS message on a note, that'd be great too.

...but of course ignore all these rules if you only have one photo. We want you in the mosaic, perfect photoshoot or not!
