In 1962, John F Kennedy visited NASA. Amongst the room of scientists, he noticed a janitor mopping the floor.
When he introduced himself, and asked the man what he was doing, the reply came:
“Well, Mr President, I’m helping put a man on the moon.”
Why do we bring this up? 👇

We’ll get to that, just hold on.
These are concerning times for all of us, but there ARE positives to take from the current situation.
Firstly, institutions like our @NHSuk are finally getting the recognition they deserve for the care they give #clapforNHS #clapforourcarers

The outpouring of love for the NHS has been wonderful to watch, and got us thinking.
It’s time for us to shout-out our very OWN unsung heroes – the people who are still working flat-out to make sure people in Doncaster can live in safety.

The waste collectors, the street cleaners, the communities teams, the frontline social care workers, teachers, Highways workers and so many more who are out every day working their socks off.
We applaud you.
We applaud you.
To the staff who are keeping everything running in spite of massive pressures – data analysts, environmental health workers, planners, bereavement workers, catering and of course our own cleaners – all of your work has been absolutely amazing.
We applaud you.

This week, our IT team managed to quickly send out an extra 600 laptops to allow even more people to work from home and keep vital council services working – amazing work from the whole team.
We applaud you.
We applaud you.
That’s why, at 8pm this evening, we’d like to encourage you to take part in a 2-hour #ClapForTheCouncil.
No? Bad idea? Ok, sorry. Just go about your evening in.

What does any of this have to do with John F Kennedy?
There are no records to suggest he ever visited Doncaster. It’s a shame, he’d have bloody loved a walk around Conisbrough Castle.
(Here's an idea of what he'd have looked like after buying a bookmark at the giftshop)

This current #COVID19 pandemic has the potential to FINALLY unite us behind a common goal.
Society has been more and more divided, but now we have a common enemy and we are ALL needed in the fight.

What’s even better is that EVERYONE has an equal part to play – it doesn’t matter who you are, how much you earn, where you come from – whether you’re a cleaner or the president.
We’re all helping to stop the spread and protect our NHS.
Stay at home this weekend. Please.
Beating this is OUR equivalent of putting a man on the moon.
