If You Only Do One Thing This Week…
Morning - we are asking for your help.
On Monday, 30th January, at 20.00, the BBC are broadcasting a Panorama programme: Forgotten Heroes of the Covid Frontline.
Please watch it. Please let people know about the programme.

Some of the Keyworker Petition UK team feature in the programme. We feel that it is important that everyone gets a chance to watch our testimonies as the COVID-19 pandemic has been life changing for us.
The other thing we would like you to do is to please share this information on social media and to write to your elected representatives to ask them to please watch this programme and also to share our campaign with them.
In England, please write to your MP - https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
In Scotland, please write to your MP and your MSPs - above MP link and https://www.parliament.scot/msps
In Wales, please write to your MP and Senedd members - above MP link and https://senedd.wales/find-a-member-of-the-senedd/
In Northern Ireland, please write to your MP (using the above link) and your MLA(s) http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/your-mlas
When you are writing to them, please tell them about the third key recommendation from the Long Covid Report (March 2022):
“Key worker compensation - The UK Government should launch a compensation scheme available to all frontline key workers currently living with Long Covid. The scheme should mirror the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS), recognise the relapsing nature of Long Covid and go beyond existing sick pay schemes.”

Please ask them to join us in campaigning for us by signing our petition-
