Nurses will be honoured for their tireless dedication in helping care for those in need on May 12 - and here in Huntingdonshire we wanted to share our own special thank you.

The day celebrates the tireless efforts of nurses in maintaining public health – even more so over the last year during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I had been shielding for nearly a year and had gained weight and lost a lot of confidence, so this helped me too, some days there was rain and even hail, but I was determined to do it.
