National Key worker day of recognition

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to formally recognise and support a day annually in recollection of these great people and what they committed to in our call when we needed them most.

What I would like see is that when we as a Nation get through this we never forget the NHS, Key workers and volunteers that were there for us right at the frontline of the worst modern day crisis to affect us all and request the Government to support, not only today but for all of those tomorrow’s that these great people were there for us.

As well as the Key Worker Day on the 5th July with a two minute salute of noise to say thank you.
