Give ALL key workers a one-off tax free payment of £500.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government to give ALL key workers, including but not limited to Police Officers and Community Support Officers, NHS Nurses and NHS Support Workers, Firefighters, Supermarket Staff, Care Home Workers, a 'one-off' tax free payment of £500 in gratitude of their work and effort during the pandemic.
A lot of key workers feel undervalued. The Government can recognise their work and efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic by the provision of a financial payment.
