This week the Echo helped promote the #HeathHeroes campaign to support workers in the NHS. On Thursday evening, people across the country also said thank you by taking part in a round of applause for carers and key workers. We received lots of photos and videos via our Sunderland Echo Facebook page – click through the pages to see them:
