An incredibly powerful and passionate meeting saw speakers and attendees united in agreement that if the Government does not commit to a clear funding plan then the vital work conducted by Kew will be lost forever.
Last night (Wednesday) people packed out Avenue Hall, in Kew, to hear rallying speeches from a panel made up of union heads, senior politicians and scientists.
The meeting took place under the banner Stop Cuts At Kew and in a rare move for such an event every single person who spoke was of the same mind as to what threat Kew is facing.
