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 the current lockdown, Amy Chambers would like to encourage you to stitch, draw, embroider, paint or stamp on a square of cotton or lightweight material, (15x15cms with a 1 cm border), to make anything that shows how you are feeling at this unusual time. The squares will then be sewn together to make a Community Quilt. Afterward, this piece of memorable history will be on public display in the community.
I’ve got a feeling we can make something beautiful between us!
Please share the idea with neighbours who may not be on social media, (obviously maintaining safe social distancing!!)
I’ve posted pictures below of ones we and Lydgate school have done so far.
Once you have done your square/s, Private Message Amy for further information.
To show solidarity that we are all behind the Veolia refuse staff and more importantly help raise their morale during the Coronavirus outbreak. Can we encourage households to place this small rainbow sticker on their bins? Please! Thanks.

In remembrance of those whom we knew, those whose memory we treasure and for all who lived and died in the service of their country and mankind, the people of Crosspool raised sufficient funds to purchase a Memorial that belongs to all.
This unique memorial, to those whose life was touched by conflict, was recently installed in the grounds of Tapton Congregational Church on Manchester Road.
A short service of dedication, quiet contemplation and reflection, will be held (hopefully outside) at a date to be announced.
Dear all
We’re hoping you are doing okay at this incredibly challenging time.
Firstly, we want to let you know that we are here for you.
As always, if it is an emergency, please call 999.
At challenging times like this, we see the community spirit of South Yorkshire people demonstrated in many ways. We know that groups are setting up all over the county to offer support to people who are isolating. Whilst in the vast majority of these cases, the individuals will be well intentioned, there may be some who see this as an opportunity for their own criminal gain.
People carrying out shopping on your behalf, will at some point need to be paid. If you give them cash, how do you know they will come back with the goods? If you give them your bank cards, they have access to all of your funds.
Action Fraud and Age UK worked together to create this film on doorstep fraud which we think will help set out our concerns and offers you some helpful steps on ways in which you can protect yourself.
They suggest this easy way of remembering how best to protect yourself and your loved ones if someone comes to your door offering help.
Stop – never do anything you don’t want to or make any decisions on the spot.
Check – Check for ID but remember most of these are community volunteers so wouldn’t necessarily have ID. There is no way of knowing whether they are legitimate.
Ask – Ask someone you trust for a second opinion, or ask them if they can provide the support you need.
Mine – If they ask for your card or your pin, remember this is very personal information that should not be shared.
Share – If you come across a scam, share your experience with others, if possible, to prevent them from being scammed.
Doorstep fraud is a crime. It happens to a wide range of people with all sorts of backgrounds. Please report it if it happens to you.
We also encourage you to share this information with your loved ones.
Thanks
South Yorkshire Police
Clap for our Carers
