The last years have been a challenge for all of us, but especially for those who work on the front line, like all of NHS staff and every single person who helped us cope during the pandemic. We all clapped for our health care workers, but not everybody is aware of how many of them lost their lives or are left traumatised by their experiences. Special thanks are also due to all the people working in the background, from the medical technicians to the cleaners and drivers. My daughter works in child protection and had such a tough time the last years when domestic violence and child abuse increased dramatically. I'm sure there are thousands of other workers which we don't know about, but without them we wouldn't have been able to survive these challenging times. Thanks to all of them !
