Commission a Covid 19 Medal and Certificate of National Recognition
Commission a Medal and Certificate of National Recognition To Be Awarded to All NHS and Emergency Service Front-line Workers, including the Voluntary groups like Blood Bikers and other charities.
Our NHS and frontline workers across the whole of the UK are currently going through a major crisis with the outbreak of Covid 19, they all face a daily battle both physically and mentally coping with those of us that are seriously ill and sadly the impact of seeing some of the people they are caring for dying.
As a Nation we need to have some way of saying thank you to them all, we don't want to remember the virus, we want to remember those that went above and beyond to help those in need.
