Annemarie Plas threatened by online trolls over its return. (PA) Annemarie Plas, the founder of NHS Clap for Carers has opted to distance herself from the movement after “abuse and threats” were aimed at her and her family. The national applause is set to return on Thursday night at 8pm but rather than just focusing on carers the message will be widened to Clap for Heroes to acknowledge everyone who has played their part through the pandemic. On Wednesday she tweeted to announce Clap for Heroes would be returning, a tweet that has since been deleted. But following negative reaction to the return of the applause the 36-year-old mother has said she “will no longer seek to raise further awareness of it”.
