Can't imagine the pressure she has been under these last 12 months. I'm sure she would appreciate a gesture like this. I'll even deliver them personally. Although she's already commented - and blushed?! - at your suggestion, I'd like to re-open the campaign on behalf of Nikki Red. As you say, her last year must've been horrendous, so we could argue that she accepts the award on the NHS's behalf. She/the mods have also lost one of "their own" - Mort - in the last few weeks, so perhaps she would accept it on behalf of the admin/mods as well.

HOWWL have wonderful volunteers that support the pre-mentioned areas with food parcels among other things if people are self-isolating, unable to get out due to shielding). Gary has, with a couple of others, set up quite a network that continues to grow. Their FB can be found here. Hi @Groose, Day 3 and Gary has been randomly selected for todays parcel!
