Lockdown Lift: The digital wall helping people say thanks during the pandemic

  • Watch a report by Penny Silvester

As the route out of lockdown has become clearer, thoughts have also turned to ways to thank people and organisations that have kept things going at a time of crisis.

A group in Berkshire have come up with a new website that is helping people to show their gratitude and give thanks where it is due. The TAP Thanks and Praise website has been described as a 'digital thinking wall'.

Research has shown that sometimes when we want to say thank you, we do not know how to get through to the right people. The founder of the TAP app says it is a way of getting that message across.

Messages shared on the free app so far have included thanks to the staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital and a school in Sunninghill.

Doctors surgeries in Poole are also using it for staff to be able to post messages of support to one another.
