Extended Study – Thank you day!

30th June 2025Sophie Myers

Thank You Day is a national initiative in the UK dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals and groups who make a positive impact in our communities. Originally launched in 2021 to acknowledge the efforts of NHS staff and other key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the day has since evolved into a broader celebration of appreciation and community spirit.

We would like to get involved by saying a big thank you to different people within our local community.

Create a postcard, thank you card or poster to someone in our community that you want to say THANK YOU to.

Make a list in Crew of all the people you want to say thank you to and bring in your completed cards next Monday! We would love to deliver some of the cards before the end of Summer Term!
