#MyHeroes: Faces of Key Workers to illuminate screens across Liverpool

Faces of key workers will be used to light up screens across Liverpool and loved ones are being asked to get involved.

A new campaign is asking people to tweet about their NHS heroes to celebrate those working on the front line of the coronavirus outbreak.

Using the hashtag #MyHeroes, the tweets will appear on a digital screen near you for the person to see while travelling to and from work.

#MyHeroes wants to connect people to their loved ones who they may not be able to see during lockdown.

A spokesperson for the campaign said: "#MyHeroes highlights the beauty of connectivity at a time where physical human connection is limited; showcasing powerful messages of love and thanks for Key Workers across the UK - from farmers to NHS workers, to teachers, pharmacists and delivery drivers.

"The time is now to name the people in your life who you feel you need to show your respect, and appreciation; those that are risking their lives to keep us safe.

"Through the #MyHeroes campaign all you need to do is tweet your thank you message with #MyHeroes.

"In keeping with the ‘Stay Home’ message, people have the power to connect with Key Workers across by displaying their gratitude on screen without leaving the house."

The messages of support will connect people to their heroes so that those on the ground, and others on their essential journeys, will see the words of support and know their whole nation stands with them.

Julie Bryan, whose daughter Chloe is a Key Worker in the NHS, said: "Seeing my daughter on screen brings this home in the most beautiful way.

"I couldn't be more proud, of her and of everyone else putting their lives on the line for all of us.

"Being able to thank her, and give the gift of making it public just means the world.

"I encourage everyone to share some love and tweet using #MyHeroes.”
