Almost 10 months on from when it first started, this week sees the return of "Clap for Carers" every Thursday night at 8pm. What with this returning, the return of a full March/April style national lockdown, the return of the "Stay at Home. Save Lives. Protect the NHS" slogan on the podiums of the Downing Street Press Conferences, I for one feel very much a sense of Deja Vu, and we've resetted right back to where we were some 10 months ago at the start of all this!
Clap for Carers has been resurrected for the latest lockdown
The sounds of applause will once again fill streets across the UK, as Clap for our Carers makes an official return.
Every Thursday night at 8pm, the public is being encouraged to Clap for Heroes, as it is now known.
Founder of Clap For Our Carers and Clap For Heroes, Annemarie Plas commented: "When we first started clapping for our incredible NHS staff, care workers and key workers last March, none of us had any expectation that we would be in an even worse situation nine months later.
"Last year the weekly applause united communities and had us talking to our neighbours whilst we acknowledged the immense sacrifices our carers were making.
"They were and still are heroes, but this time round we also want to recognise all the other heroes that keep the country going and have endured such challenging times.
"This Thursday at 8pm we want the whole country to unite again to remember and celebrate all of these heroes, including those most dear to us. Bring out those pots and pans, get the kids involved - they’ve been heroes too after all!"
