Over the past eight weeks, there have been many ways that we have shown our appreciation and gratitude to thank all the brave front line NHS key workers for their exceptional dedication during these unprecedented times.
Tonight at the dedicated time of 8pm, whilst continuing to show our support in the usual way, with a huge round of applause from our front doors, balconies, windows, and living rooms; let us give a thought for the wellbeing of the front line local authority staff who, during the COVID19 pandemic, have continued to function and carry out their very important roles and manage the increasing need for their services and information whilst dealing with their own personal situations and emotions.
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.
Our little heroes have stayed indoors without really understanding why they can’t go out or see their family and friends
In the blink of an eye, their lives have been turned upside down and they are expected to follow rules they have never known, and live a life they couldn’t have ever imagined.
To show how proud we are of them aIL let’s get everyone clapping, on this warm and sunny day, for our little heroes?
Returning for the second week in succession amid the coronavirus outbreak, people in Crosspool are expected to clap from doorsteps, windows, gardens, and balconies to thank the NHS champions.
It comes a week after the first Clap for Carers and is expected to begin at 8pm tonight.
It’s hoped that more will take part in tonight’s tribute to our NHS carers and key workers, who are working round the clock to help keep us all safe in these very difficult times.
During these unprecedented times, they need to know that we are grateful!
Please join us this evening: Thursday 26th March 8pm
for a Big Applause (from our Front door, Garden, Balcony, Windows, Living rooms, etc.)
to show all who are working at the Front Line, our
appreciation for their ongoing hard work and fight
against this virus.
Please share this message, so we can make sure, the
word spreads and reaches all to join!
