#SuffolkSaysThanks

Suffolk Says Thank You is a community campaign developed by the Emotional Wellbeing in the Community group, which is a collaboration of a number of public, health and voluntary sector organisations tasked with meeting the challenges of COVID-19 and specifically to support people’s mental health.

This campaign doesn’t seek to compete with the weekly opportunity to ‘clap for carers’, which is so valuable in itself, instead it’s designed to provide some fun, simple ways for every Suffolk resident to say thank you. It is about building on the positive appreciation of health and care workers, and many others in recent weeks and extending it to friends, neighbours and wider communities, as well as people who are a feature of our neighbourhoods such as the bin men, postal workers, local delivery drivers, teachers and home helps.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our way of life and created previously unimaginable circumstances in which the value of helping others cannot be underestimated. Saying ‘thank you’ has never been more important and has become a well-established way of life, with communities sharing their appreciation of health and care workers each Thursday.

While frontline healthcare professionals are rightfully recognised for their huge efforts to help those who are unwell over this period, there are also many other less celebrated acts of kindness and generosity in every town and village. From putting out the bins or picking up extra shopping for a neighbour, to making that extra effort to check in on friends and family, Suffolk people are showing their generosity in countless ways.

It is these everyday acts that can mean a lot to people and will be the basis of this campaign. Saying a simple ‘thank you’ can pay dividends for both the person being thanked and the person showing their appreciation.
