Following the success of the Clap for Our Carers campaign which saw towns, villages and cities up and down the country clapping in support of our carers on Thursday 26th March, the event looks likely to become a weekly event at 8pm every Thursday.

Hampshire County Council have launched a new helpline to provide information and advice, as well as practical support to frail or vulnerable Hampshire residents who need urgent assistance with essential food or household supplies, collection of medication, or who are at risk of loneliness.

You may have seen the TV images of people clapping from their balconies in France and Spain to thank health workers for the work they are doing .

At 8pm tonight, Thursday 26th March the people of Fleet and across the country are being encouraged to open their front doors or windows and clap for our carers to thank and celebrate our NHS workers.
