Designate a day for the recognition of our NHS and all Emergency Services.

What the petition asks

Have a day designated for acknowledging those in the NHS and Emergency Services that are both main line and charitable such as the RNLI. The government should create a fund in support. The day could promote the associated charities that offer support to the families of the services.
Such a day would raise the profile of the Emergency Services. Make the public aware of the sacrifices made by the services and their families. Some make the ultimate sacrifice in their line of duty and as such this should be recognized. Those charities supporting bereaved families and loved ones could be profiled and promoted for public support. The public would be able to show their support as they do for Remembrance Day. Donations could be made for the benefit of the Services
