An Ipswich mum who founded the national Facebook group Rainbow Trail at the start of the Covid pandemic has launched a new project to tackle littering and climate change.
Crystal Stanley set up the group which now has over 191,000 members with her daughter Ariana after being inspired by a similar movement in Italy, where the healthcare system was being overwhelmed by coronavirus deaths.

Since December, I’ve been supporting the vaccination rollout and it’s been a fantastic experience. It s a happy environment to be in, and the patients are so appreciative. In addition to the clinical team, I work with a team of 80 volunteers. It s a two-way thing, you are helping deliver vaccinations to thousands of people which is incredible, but for volunteers, it also gives an enormous boost of wellbeing. I’d recommend it wholeheartedly!
Colette Burgess, a retired nurse, is one of the many retired NHS workers who have returned to work to help with coronavirus vaccinations.
The 60-year-old now works with the research and development team at West Suffolk Hospital on a Covid-19 study and also works with the vaccination team.
