Clap for Carers in Coalville: Show Your Thanks On The Doorsteps And Send Us Your Tributes

By Graham Hill 2nd Apr 2020

Britain is set to come out in force on to their doorsteps again tonight in support of the NHS.

And we know that Coalville residents will be among the millions doing just that again at 8pm on Thursday evening when the country will once more take part in Clap for our Carers.

If you are playing your part, let us know how your street said thank-you.

And if you're recording it on your phones, send us a copy of the video and we will highlight it on Coalville Nub News.

Contact the regional editor at [email protected] or use message us on our Facebook site.

Tonight's tribute takes on extra significance as the threat of Coronavirus crisis was brought home to everyone in this area last weekend.

A doctor who worked at a hospital in Burton died after testing positive for coronavirus - becoming the first hospital frontline worker to lose their life to the disease.

So there is an extra reason to get behind the NHS tonight - among many others - just like last week when the country clapped in unison to thank those carers who have been working tirelessly to battle the outbreak.

If you missed it last week, you have another chance to express your gratitude again in Coalville and the surrounding areas.
