Acknowledgements

A little story …. back in March, right after the very first Thursday evening clap I had a chat over the phone with my niece.  She is a doctor and I said that I was clapping for her and her colleagues.  She told me that she was clapping 100% for a care assistant called Megan working on her ward.

An elderly lady had been tested for Coronavirus and had been moved into isolation – she was alone, frightened and crying. Despite having underlying health conditions herself Megan had volunteered to care for her on a one-to-one basis.

I found myself wanting to send a gift to Megan say thank you for her selfless bravery and compassion.

That night I was thinking again about Megan, and the fact that in the midst of this terrible Coronavirus situation, up and down the country  staff of the NHS were  putting their own lives on the line to care for others….so that they are there if we need them.

I remembered that over 18 months ago I had bought the domain name Thank the NHS.

The idea was born.

I could NOT have got this initiative off the ground if I had not been joined by some fantastic people who all wanted to help me bring this idea to reality.

I just want to thank each and every one of them.
