Petition Action

Have an annual National Day of Remembrance for COVID-19 key workers & victims

Petition Details

Consider and/debate in Parliament once the country is back to ‘normal’

Additional Information

The back bone of our country during the Coronavirus challenge has been our fantastic NHS, and those who have kept the nation fed, watered, able to travel when necessary, picked up our rubbish, and many, many more people who have worked tirelessly, often unseen and unrecognised. An annual day of Remembrance to recognise peoples’ sacrifices during this devastating period in the history of this country, and the world, would be be a fitting tribute.
