We were asked by Annemarie Plas, the organiser of the #clapforourcarers campaign in the UK, to create a brand identity and shareable assets to help spread the word and get everyone around the world to clap in support of, and say thank you to, all our amazing healthcare professionals and key-workers. The campaign has reached all over the globe, with the brand identity and associated shareable assets we designed being posted by celebs, government and the public, right across social media from the likes of David Beckham to Number 10. Facebook got involved producing their own content to support the movement and the campaign hit every press outlet, TV channel and Sky even paused broadcasting in support of the campaign.The assets are all available for downloading from the website www.clapforourcarers.co.uk

As the UK moves into arguably its most uncertain time in recent years, on Thursday 26th March as darkness fell, the nation came together to recognise the continued efforts of those working on the front line against the COVID-19 virus. We showed our gratitude to NHS staff, carers, pharmacists and all manor of key workers by taking to the streets, gardens, open windows and balconies to clap our thanks with our families and neighbours.As this period of isolation continues, the nation was only too happy to be able to physically brave the outdoors and cheer for all healthcare professionals across the country. In this video, Seenit brought together a total of 80 clips from over 50 people across London and beyond, to amplify their neighbourhood's applause for all NHS workers.

Clap for our carers

I've made a portal to share posters of public interest and encouragement in people's windows - raising public awareness and encouraging key workers.

We can do it. Let's fight this together. Thanks to all the people who stand on the front lines fighting the virus. What we can do is to "StayAtHome" and "FlattenTheCurve." Together we can make it!

Let's Fight This Together

Global medical facilities are making heroic efforts to protect communities. But many other services, sometimes overlooked, are also putting themselves on the front line to maintain society. SayThanks provides an opportunity to download A4 posters, easily printable at home, to show an appreciation of other local heroes...postmen, refuse collectors, pharmacists and many others. They too deserve recognition and gratitude. All services would appreciate, be encouraged and strengthened by the acknowledgement. And it's nice to say thanks.

Thank you key workers

Sachini Imbuldeniya

At the time of the Windrush scandal Darren Smith (writer of this poem) interviewed Sachini’s (producer of the poem) mum, who came to Britain to work in the NHS. It seemed incredible that we could go from a nation that needs and welcomes and values immigrants to a nation riven apart by Brexit and the Hostile Environment policies of the government since 2012.

The coronavirus pandemic has seen a much-deserved shift in the what we now think of as an ‘essential key worker’. Ironically, despite being socially distanced from one another we are a far more United Kingdom.

As our friends and neighbours do each Thursday night at 8pm we clap for every carer, doctor, nurse, delivery driver, supermarket employee, dentist, refuse collector, food bank volunteer and key worker no matter what their age, sex, religion, nationality, or colour of their skin.

We are not trying to make a political point. It is a humanitarian one.

When we emerge from our homes blinking in the sunlight and hopefully freed from the grip of COVID-19, we want to remind people not to go back to old, blind ways of thinking. Of assuming that certain jobs are ‘unskilled’ and therefore ‘unworthy’.

And we ask everyone to remember that we are stronger as a nation when we welcome people of all ethnicities and backgrounds to our shores to work and live and love alongside us.

Because as we have discovered, at times of crisis we all need to support and care for each other.

That is a sentiment worth clapping for.

You Clap for Me Now

Across the UK, people have been clapping for key workers and NHS heroes, every Thursday at 8pm. But how do we make sure the momentum continues?Beyond the Clap is an online platform hosted on Instagram where NHS heroes can share their personal stories, host live Q&A's and appeal for community support.Through the platform, the general public can continue to champion NHS heroes with small acts of kindness, beyond the clap.More than ever, we need kindness, community and solidarity. Beyond the Clap empowers ordinary people to become the backbone to the frontline by giving them a direct line of communication with their NHS heroes.
