The organiser of Clap for Carers is urging us back out onto our doorsteps this Thursday at 8pm, to bring back the weekly applause but this time it will be called ‘Clap for Heroes.’
The weekly clap will honour everyone who has been hit particularly hard by the pandemic – including carers, teachers, homeschooling parents and those who have to return to shielding.
Annemarie Plas, who came up with the weekly ritual “We are bringing back the 8pm applause, in our 3rd lockdown.
“I hope it can lift the spirit, of all of us. Carers teacher, homeschooling parents, those who shield and ALL who is pushing through this difficult time! Please join & share! #clapforheroes.”

Millions of people across the UK lined up outside their homes to show appreciation for carers first time round, gathering on pavements and stood in their gardens and it is hoped people will support the appeal again in an effort to lift the nations mood.
