More details
The Justice for the Surrey & Borders NHS Trust's Garden Centre Workers campaign blog is at http://justice4sabtworkers.blogspot.com and this campaign started after the Surrey and Borders Trust decided to cut the paltry £3 a day it was paying to workers with learning difficulties at its comercial Old Moat Garden Centre in Ewell, Surrey to nothing.
In return for your support I will freely provide IT support , gardening services or any other reasonable work task you want me to do for one hour.

The hour's work I would like you to do for me is IT related. I think it is important to understand the history of mental health care and treatment. Would you spend an hour researching the possibility of using the Project Gutenberg or some other free ebook project, to put Claire Baron's "Asylum to Anarchy" published 1987, on the net. This detailed what happened in Paddington Day Hospital in the mid to late 1970's. It is history that I believe needs to be freely available.

In this case the rights trampled are the rights of people with learning difficulties and the people doing the trampling are being paid from taxpayers money to protect those rights.
This implicates us in their actions, so please pledge now and send a clear message that we support and want to care for vunerable people far more than we want to unconsciously hand over our money to mean and unthinking bureaucrats.
