More details

The NHS has shown time and time again how valuable it is and the fight against COVID-19 shows how, even after retirement, the dedicated staff members of our beloved NHS will come back to put themselves in harms way to help save lives. Each year we should have a day set aside where we celebrate the entire staff of this amazing service. Giving people the chance to fundraise, have open days, send messages of love and support and give thanks for their efforts 24/7, 365 days a year.
