3rd July 2020Are you celebrating the NHS Birthday?
People in Hull and the East Riding are being urged to take part in the biggest ‘thank-you’ the country has ever seen on the birthday of the NHS this weekend, culminating in an epic pause for applause at 5pm on Sunday.
This major country-wide coming together will thank all those who have been helping us through the pandemic and recognise the vital community connections that continue to support us all.
Broadcasters will suspend normal transmissions at 5pm as people across the country pause what they’re doing to think of others.
We are encouraging people to join neighbours in the streets (following social distancing advice) to applaud not just the NHS and other key workers but all those who have volunteered or helped keep services and community networks going.
The NHS itself will be saying its own big thank you to everybody who has helped it continue doing its job in the face of the biggest health challenge it has ever faced.
On Saturday evening everybody is encouraged to put a light in their windows in remembrance of those we have lost during the pandemic. Buildings across Hull and the East Riding, including the Inspire CAMHS Inpatient Unit, Hull University Medical Allam Building, Hull City Hall and Ferens Art Gallery will be joining famous landmarks in lighting up in NHS blue.
