The Housemartins - People Get Ready

Today's #clapforcarers song is very much going for the spirit of togetherness and optimism, both of which we're all sorely in need of at the moment, and both of which there has been some sense of.

It can feel trite sometimes to use words such as 'togetherness' and 'optimism', and while there have been some great examples in recent weeks of communities supporting each other, there are also those who are genuinely struggling and don't know where to turn for help. This was the case before the pandemic, and the need will be there in the aftermath when we can finally stand down from an emergency footing.

Look after each other. Stay safe.
