Miss Race and Wales Key Workers

We are now well into our 4th week of Lock Down and I hope you are all still keeping safe and well and have managed to have a good Easter!
Life has dramatically changed for all of us over the past weeks and we have all had to learn to adapt to the situation we have found ourselves in. Lock Down can be very difficult for lots of people for many different reasons. One thing I have found comfort in is how our nation has come together to demonstrate an appreciation for everything NHS and other key workers are doing throughout the outbreak by joining in a weekly national clapping event that has been organised in their honour. With this in mind, I started to think about past Wales High School students who are currently working tirelessly on the front line and how we could recognise them and the vital work they’re doing during this pandemic. After putting a shout out on social media, I would like to introduce the first post celebrating the work that some our past students are doing, right now, within our community.
From ALL the staff at Wales High School, we would like to say how very proud we are of what each of you has achieved since leaving school and how grateful we are for the critical work that you carry out on a daily basis. THANK YOU! Take care and stay safe!

For the last year I've worked as an Administrator and Clerk at Sheffield Children's Hospital. I'm supporting families by making sure all of our outpatients are receiving the care they need, helping our doctors and nurses manage their clinics, arranging video consultations for our surgeons, and supporting all of our frontline workers so they can focus on their jobs. I would like to thank the entire Children's Hospital Family for coming together during this difficult time, and I'd also like to thank all the key workers, and those who can't work, who are doing their bit to help us all get through this together.

 I'm a support worker at dimensions which is where we support adults and young adults with many different learning difficulties and health problems by supporting them with shopping, cooking, supporting them out on holidays and days outs, medication and hospital appointments.  It helps to give them independence and keeps them safe. I've been working in the health and social care setting for the past 3 years. I would love to thank the community for staying at home and thank you to all key workers for their hard and dedication for all there hard work!!
