A North Somerset health shop and eatery has launched a 'Health Hero hamper giveaway' to give frontline workers gifts of immunity-boosting health and food products.
Sow & Arrow, in Old Street, Clevedon, wants to say thank you to workers for their relentless work in these difficult times.
In a statement, the health shop said: "Members of the public can nominate a frontline worker such as carers, delivery drivers, pharmacy workers, nurses, doctors and porters.
"Every Thursday for the next ten weeks Sow & Arrow owner, nutritionist and author Pauline Cox BSc MSc will announce a winner."
Gifts in the hamper include high-quality fish oils, avocado mayonnaise and gut health boosting Komucha.
Pauline Cox who started the initiative said: “The one common sentiment that the global coronavirus pandemic has created is gratitude.
"The outpouring of thanks to our fantastic frontline workers is palpable.
"We ask members of the public to nominate someone in their community to receive this wonderful hamper and offer the reasons why.
"From this we will not only thank those people who deserve a thank you but also help spread stories of joy and positivity.”
Ms Cox has also started home deliveries and a Facebook group to keep the vulnerable and isolated feeling connected, as well as the Feed The Frontline programme in which the kitchens at Sow & Arrow feeds for free frontline workers helping the local community.
She continues: “We can all play a part in this situation, no matter how small it all adds up to make a huge difference.
"When we stand strong together and commit to support each other, wonderful things can be achieved.”
