Doorstep Parties for the NHS

Macclesfileld Town Council are giving out party packs to help people celebrate pandemic front line workers.

The first NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers’ Day takes place on Monday, July 5th 2021 with a series of events including raising of flags, a two minute silence at 11am, a post-lunch toast, street parties, afternoon tea and then applause and bell ringing later in the evening.  

The national event hopes to raise money for NHS Charities Together, which supports 250 hospitals and their charitable trusts, and the National Care Association, representing 1.6 million workers caring for some of society’s frailest citizens.  If every household, business, school and organisation raised just £5 on the day, it would make a massive difference to these amazing causes.

As the National event is on the 5^th July which is a working day, Macclesfield Town Council are encouraging people to hold small garden or street parties on the weekend of the 3^rd and 4^th July.

To help with the party planning the Town Council have produced party packs filled with ideas on how to make your event special along with some great little surprises. 

Abi Sherratt, Events and Communications Officer at Macclesfield Town Council said “This last year has been very hard, and the Town Council fully support the NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers Day as a way for everyone in the town to show our gratitude.  We are aware that restrictions may change, but even if we are only allowed to mix outside in small bubbles, people will still be able to have a garden party with close family or friends, or meet up with their neighbours.  We encourage people get a free party pack if they can and use the ideas for their parties.” 

Party Packs are available on a first come first served basis from several locations within Macclesfield, at a variety of difference times in the run up to the event.
