Fund an annual campaign to celebrate and remember frontline and NHS workers

Closed 72 signatures

What the petition asks

As a Dr who has experienced cancer, I understand the risk so many NHS doctors, nurses, care workers and frontline workers like me are facing to save the lives of others. My colleagues have lost their lives to save others and I want the Government to recognise this every year, like remembrance day.
I want Government backing for a Blue Poppy campaign to run in this country for all the public health and other workers helping to save our communities and loved ones. It is a lasting tribute to people who are fighting a different type of enemy that risks all of us.
