Donate to our NHS appeal – it is impossible to overstate the bravery of our doctors and nurses

IT is impossible to overstate the bravery of our doctors and nurses.

Signing up to risk your life for others takes extraordinary guts. We are in awe of those in the military and fire service who do it.

But taking your life in your hands when it’s not part of your job requires a whole different kind of courage.

And luckily for Brits, our frontline NHS staff have it in droves.

Real Heroes

So today, The Sun is asking you — our generous readers — to help them.

By donating to our Who Cares Wins Fund appeal, you will be providing crucial sleep pods for exhausted teams, food for NHS staff unable to be at home, and care packs and wash bags to help stop the spread of the bug.

No matter how little you can spare, please donate today.

And don’t forget to make some noise at 8pm tonight.

Joining the nation in a round of applause might not seem like much, but noisy appreciation will be music to the ears of our heroes.

Give now to The Sun's NHS appeal

BRITAIN’s four million NHS staff are on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus.

But while they are helping save lives, who is there to help them?

The Sun has launched an appeal to raise £1MILLION for NHS workers.

The Who Cares Wins Appeal aims to get vital support to staff in their hour of need.

We have teamed up with NHS Charities Together in their urgent Covid-19 Appeal to ensure the money gets to exactly who needs it.

The Sun is donating £50,000 and we would like YOU to help us raise a million pounds, to help THEM.

No matter how little you can spare, please donate today here

Let’s be clear

TRANSPARENCY has always been the key to tackling this crisis.

Of course, we accept that any talk of a detailed exit strategy can’t come until after we’ve reached the infection’s peak.

But we’d urge the Government to explain current thinking on how and at what point we can expect to return society to some semblance of normality.

Small and big business owners — and their furloughed workers — deserve to know whether they should prepare for their doors to be closed for three weeks or three months.

And parents desperately need to know for how much longer they can expect their children to be out of school.

It has been 16 gruelling days since the Prime Minister put Britain on lockdown and still, the vast majority of this nation’s stoic citizens are following the rules.

They have accepted the need to stay at home to support their beloved NHS, and they have given up cherished liberties with remarkable good grace. The facts might be scarce, but patient Brits have earned the right to hear them.

Stay the course

WE cautiously welcome news that the number of Brits picking up the bug has dropped over the past week.

Yes, infection rate statistics need a pinch of salt: the majority of sufferers still aren’t being tested.
