During this COVID19 outbreak , the UK could not function without staff who come from many different countries. Brexit has already affected morale for many. Due to the COVID pandemic, we are asking these key workers to risk their lives to look after the British people while their own families are far away. This is a chance for the British Government and Public to show them how much we appreciate their invaluable contribution to our society.
