Susan Smailes, president of Kirkby Inner Wheel, has sent ‘thank you’ cards to local NHS workers in recognition of their work during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The cards were sent as part of a national campaign to show members’ gratitude for the hard work done by health workers in such difficult times.

The gesture was part of Inner Wheel ‘s celebration of International Women’s Day.

Enid Law, association president of the Inner Wheel Club of GB and Ireland, said: ‘It’s a small gesture but a way for members to show their appreciation for the dedication and effort that has been shown by our health workers throughout this pandemic’.

The Inner Wheel club of Kirkby is one of 550 clubs that form the Association of Inner Wheel.
