Campers up and down the country are being urged to show their support for the hardworking staff of the NHS this Saturday (11th April) amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
A JustGiving page has been set up by 16-year-old Scarlett Street who wants us all to get out outside and camp in our gardens this Easter weekend.
Campervan and motorhome owners don’t need to miss out on the festivities though, as we can all take part in the fun of the Night Out for Nurses.
Scarlett was moved to set up the event to help give families across the UK a reason to enjoy the good weather this weekend despite the restrictions on movement that remain in place.
She also wanted to show her support for NHS staff who continue to be under great pressure on the front line of care as the nation tackles the impact of coronavirus.
“We urge everybody to participate in this initiative that will raise vital funds for nurses in these extraordinary tough times,” Scarlett’s father Damon commented.
“We wanted to do it in a fun way that would get families together and take us back to having fun times in the great outdoors.”
Anyone wishing to take part in the event can post pictures of their camp and share them online via the hashtag #nightoutfornurses.
You can also donate to Scarlett’s JustGiving page, which aims to donate more than £1,000 to the Association of NHS Charities.
