Tonight Thursday 14th May at 8pm you are encouraged to join in by clapping on your doorstep, your balcony, your garden, or front room to celebrate the work of everyone at the frontline of the NHS and social care.
During these unprecedented and constantly changing times, tonight spare a special thought for the 10,000 Shared Lives carers who share their home and community life, working tirelessly to protect and support people of all ages with a physical disability, learning disability or mental illness, who need personal care and practical support.
Our clapping hands together echo our appreciation to the entire health and social care workforce and express our thanks and recognition for the valuable work those at the forefront of this pandemic do to protect and keep the most vulnerable safe.
Let’s hear it for Shared Lives carers!
