Old Saw Mill, Congleton.

75 years of the NHS will be celebrated at the Old Saw Mill in Congleton this week. 

On Friday 10 November, the community will gather to mark 75 years of the National Health Service. 

The National Health Service is the publicly funded healthcare system in England, and one of the four National Health Service systems in the United Kingdom. The service treats over one million people a day and is one of the most admired services to come out of the country. 

When it was founded in 1948, the NHS was the first universal health system to be available to all, free at the point of delivery. Today, nine in 10 people agree that healthcare should be free of charge, more than four in five agree that care should be available to everyone, and that the NHS makes them most proud to be British.

The organisation officially turned 75 in July of this year, and despite being vastly overstretched and the staff striking throughout 2023, was celebrated across the nation.

These celebrations will continue at 7pm in Congleton this Friday, 10 November, as the Congleton Writers Forum gets ready to host a reading to celebrate the NHS.

The event will include a colourful mix of poetry, prose and fact and will take place at The Old Saw Mill.

Tickets cost £8, and residents can call the Old Saw Mill on 01260 277658 to book.
