Clap for Carers – to thank NHS workers Tonight at 8pm
People across the country are being asked to join a #clapforcarers event tonight to thank the NHS workers who are working tirelessly throughout the ongoing COVID-19(coronavirus) pandemic in the UK.
The Clap For Our Carers campaign will see people across the UK applaud NHS workers from the doorsteps, balconies or windows of their homes at 8pm, in order to say thank you for all of their hard work.
The idea behind this campaign is to show our appreciation for doctors, nurses, GPs and every other NHS worker during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, through a nationwide round of applause.
Those joining in should make sure to keep a safe distance from other people.
People are being encouraged to live stream their participation on social media channels.
Similar events have already been held in countries including Spain, France and the Netherlands.

Food Delivery Service for those Self Isolating in LS6
The Rainbow Junction is trialling a food delivery service for those in financial need who are self isolating in the local area. This is on top of our existing takeaway service from the cafe itself.
They will be delivering takeaway boxes of today’s lunch in LS6 only between 12pm and 3pm.
They have very limited food and ask that you only request this service if you are genuinely in need.
Please text 07490 543692 with the following information:
– how many people in the household
– any dietary requirements
– the address to deliver to
They will try to serve everyone who gets in touch, but please bear with us as we have not provided this kind of service before, have no idea how high demand will be and our food stocks are low.
They also ask that you stay at least 2 metres from the delivery person but smiles are very welcome.
