Colleagues and customers at our stores throughout the country took a moment to say thank you to the amazing NHS staff and carers who are doing so much for us.
At 8pm on March 26th many of our colleagues at our stores and distribution centres – standing two metres apart – joined in the #ClapForOurCarers initiative, standing up and applauding our doctors, nurses, carers and everyone working in the health service.
Colleagues from lots of our stores took to social media to share the emotional moment.
Colleagues at our Accrington store posted this video them taking a moment to say thanks on Instagram:
