Closed petition Make the Monday after Mothering Sunday 2021 an extra bank holiday.
Closed on
Pass a bill to include an extra Bank Holiday in 2021 to recognise that in 2020 Mothering Sunday was tough day for the country and many families were apart. A
Bank Holiday on the Monday would give families the chance to be together for longer and would acknowledge the sacrifices made.
By March 2021 we should be well out of the current Coronavirus crisis and the country will be recovering economically, socially and emotionally. The opportunity to acknowledge the national effort through this period would really boost morale and give a positive focus as the country looks back on the dark and anxious times in which we currently live.
