BBC East Midlands Today - Clap for Carers in Six Streets

Update: two local residents were interviewed aboout how important all the frontline staff are - from hospital porters to ICU doctors to care home assistants to A&E nurses. And then they filmed somewhere in Six Streets - confusion about where.

Original post:

The BBC will be filming the Clap for Carers in Six Streets tonight.

They will be at the junction of White St and Park Grove so please come out onto the path to your front doors and show your appreciation for all the people doing so much - some have died after caring for covid19 patients, some don’t have the necessary PPE, some are working extra hours covering for colleagues who are in isolation.

Turn you claps into funds for NHS staff!

NHS Charities Together is asking people to text “clap” to 70507, which will trigger a £5 donation, along with a message of support.

Organisers of the “One Million Claps” appeal are asking for at least 1 million people to donate £5 by text message to fund food deliveries, overnight stays, kits and travel costs.

A short film has been produced to promote the campaign, voiced by the entertainer and writer David Walliams, which features a version of the Queen song We Will Rock You with its lyrics amended to “NHS, we love you; We say, we say, thank you”.
