Today we want to do our bit in OMBLE style to create posters, designs, scribbles, sketches, notes, headlines or anything else that will show our support for the NHS during the Coronavirus crisis. Imagine a billboard right outside their hospital for them to see when they finish their long shift. How would you lift their spirits and show them we are thinking of them?

Consider messages to the public too. A call to action for volunteers…encouragement to stay at home…maintaining social distance and washing hands.

This is a chance for the OMBLES to really show what the NHS means to the UK. And, if you’re not from the UK, show your support for your own amazing healthcare systems at this incredibly difficult time.

Make sure you get involved in the brilliant initiative to #ClapForOurCarers tonight too at 8pm.

Set those alarms and join in with your neighbours.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs, @LoveYourNHS and @NHSMillion with the hashtags #LoveYourNHS #ClapForOurCarers and #StayHomeSaveLives

Other ways to show your support for the NHS.

Become an NHS Volunteer

The NHS is “rallying the troops” for the war on coronavirus, with volunteers being called up to help vulnerable people stay safe and well at home.

The nation is looking for volunteers to help up to 1.5 million people who have been asked to shield themselves from coronavirus because of underlying health conditions.

People can become an NHS Volunteer Responder and join the NHS’s trusted list of volunteers by visiting goodsamapp.org/NHS and adding their details to the NHS section.

Share a Thank You to the NHS

Check out and share the #ThankUNHS video created by our friends at The Gate, which has been re-purposed to share the important #StayAtHomeSaveLives message.

The video features Johnny, Shaun Ryder, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Sadie Frost and Mickey P Kerr together with Little belters children’s choir and many more of the Great British public.
