Acknowledgements

Clapforourcarers want to shout out a huge thanks to all our supporters and partners who have helped us create and share our messages, and who have enabled the Clap For Our Carers movement to keep growing. Applause… we couldn’t have done it without you!

Our applause to:
Creative Clinic – our amazing branding, digital, marketing, social media and strategy agency who designed our logo, all our assets and collateral, our website, our social channels and weekly posts (all generously pro-bono, cheers guys) and whose creativity, strategic thinking and advice every week, has helped to make Clap For Our Carers such an incredible success. Check out their fab work at thecreativeclinic.com

The amazing support we have had from broadcast media – particularly BBC 1, BBC Radio and BBC News, Channel 5, Sky News, Sky One and ITV who as well as news coverage, also ‘paused’ their usual broadcast on 2nd April so that viewers could go outside to clap, and to Channel 4 who staged a special ad break takeover on the same night
