Banbury cafe shows support for NHS on day of #ClapForOurCarers event during coronavirus outbreak

A Banbury business called Little Amsterdam, an independent cafe, posted a massive banner outside its shopfront today (Thursday March 26) supporting the NHS.

To thank the NHS workers who are working tirelessly throughout the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Tonight (Thursday March 26) will see a #ClapForOurCarers event dedicated to them.

The Clap For Our Carers, or #clapforourcarers, campaign will see people across the UK applaud NHS workers from the doorsteps, balconies or windows of their homes, in order to say thank you for all of their hard work.

NHS workers are classed as key workers so it’s currently very difficult for them to get time off, and there may be an increasing number of staff shortages if workers themselves get ill from the virus.

The Clap For Our Carers campaign poster reads, “During these unprecedented times they need to know that we are grateful.

“Please join us on: 26th March at 8pm for a big applause (from front doors, garden, balcony, windows, living rooms, etc) to show all nurses; doctors; gps and carers our appreciation for their ongoing hard work and fight against the virus.

“Please share this message, so we can make sure the word spreads and reaches all to join!”
