Compassion, kindness, hope are core qualities of the countless professionals and volunteers that sustain the Covid19 effort and other concurrent emergencies. Today on #30days30waysUK we celebrate YOU, the people that are making a positive difference despite hardship every day.
Covid19 has exposed fault lines in our societies. Marginalised communities suffer more than others. Hate speech + discrimination are on the rise. You can speak up on social media, challenge misconceptions and express support for those in need.
Research volunteering #getinvolved
The @BritishRedCross is the largest humanitarian organisation in the UK and has been integral in the way local communities are being supported. A recent update on their #covid19UK support:

COVID-19 has thrown our world into turmoil and forcibly reminded us that we are not each other’s enemies. Take time to appreciate one another, the last six months have proven that we have come together to support one another #30Days30WaysUK 🥰🥰🥰
