SWU Chair Dave Callow encourages our union members to join him in London on March 28th for the Together Alliance march.
Our union will be marching with the Together Alliance in central London to show that unity is stronger than division and that hope is more powerful than fear. Hundreds of organizations and thousands of people have united in this alliance against the far-right, and we hope you will join us in this demonstration of solidarity.
SWU Chair Dave Callow said:
“Social workers are united by our collective mission to support vulnerable individuals, families, and communities. We dedicate our professional lives to helping people overcome adversity and to challenging inequality, discrimination, and oppression. Alongside the Together Alliance, we’re showing up on March 28th to push back against the far-right politics of division and hate.
“We won’t stand by as our families, friends, colleagues, and neighbours are targeted, intimidated, and made into scapegoats for social issues. We are letting politicians know in no uncertain terms that these issues won’t be solved by pandering to the far-right. I hope you will join me in marching for love, for hope, and for unity.”
The demonstration will start at 12pm noon on Saturday 28th March 2026 at Park Lane, Central London. The nearest tube station is Hyde Park Corner. The full route, bloc map, and accessibility information – and the location for SWU members to meet – will be confirmed closer to the event date.
If you would like to march alongside fellow SWU members please let us know by March 26th at SWUinfo@swu-union.org.uk and we will let you know the meet up location.
Need transport to London?
Community groups, unions, and local organisers across the country are arranging coaches, sharing costs, and making sure everyone can get to London on March 28th for the big day.
The Together Alliance has compiled a growing list of every confirmed coach heading to the march, so you can find the one closest to you and book your seat. You can view this list and interactive map on their website: https://www.togetheralliance.org.uk/transport
Some coaches require a contribution towards the cost of travel, but some providers are offering free or discounted travel for low or unwaged individuals. If your town or city isn’t on the list yet or a coach is already fully booked — don’t worry, more coaches are being added all the time.
