#ClapForOurCarers – support Britain’s NHS and Key Workers.
At 8pm today (Thursday) show your support for our NHS staff and key workers by joining the weekly nationwide Clap For Our Carers campaign – now in its fourth week.
The campaign honours the efforts of the 1.3 million NHS and health care staff fighting the coronavirus pandemic every day and other key workers such as teachers, supermarket staff, pharmacists, bin men, delivery drivers, journalists and volunteers working all hours during the Covid-19 crisis.
Each week millions of people across the UK take to their doorsteps, balconies and gardens or stand in their windows to join in the applause to show their appreciation for health and care staff and other key workers during this unprecedented time.
Clap for our Carers creator, London-based Dutch yoga teacher Annemarie Plas, first had the idea after seeing footage of a similar tribute in the Netherlands.
She used social media to spread word of the campaign, with millions of people across the country eventually participating last week.
Annemarie has suggested that the UK continues to clap at 8pm every Thursday throughout the crisis to show continued support for the people working under extremely difficult circumstances.
So, let’s all join in this evening’s tribute by clapping, banging pots and pans, playing musical instruments to let the NHS staff and other key workers know how much they are all appreciated.
