Members of a spiritual centre have been showing their support for the "real life superheroes" battling the coronavirus pandemic.
The SRMD London Spiritual Centre, based in Falconer Road in Bushey, say the "superheroes on the frontline" may not wear capes, but they have superpowers of "selflessness, bravery, kindness and compassion in service" against COVID-19.
To help support the workers, Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care UK (SRLC) launched a campaign, coinciding with National Superhero Day on April 28, which has benefitted a dozen hospitals including Watford General, Northwick Park, and Barnet Hospital.
The campaign offers an opportunity for the public to show their gratitude, by writing cards, sticking up signs, or putting together packs to be delivered to the frontline each week.
Ashwin Mehta, trustee at SRMD and in charge of the campaign, said: "Whilst we are safe at home, we wanted to find a way to show our appreciation to these incredible frontline staff, who are the real Superheroes in this crisis.
"We found that receiving a simple hand-written card lifted their spirits, knowing that they were appreciated."
The campaign has also been taken online - Instagram to be exact.
The #ThankDonateTag has been introduced to help put together what SRLC describe as a "great wall of gratitude".
Individuals can post a message, picture or short video expressing their gratitude towards a key worker, or 'superhero'.
They can then make a donation of £5 if they wish to help volunteers build gratitude packs full of essential items, goodies & messages - and then must nominate at least five other people to do the same on their Instagram story.
It is similar to a number of other schemes that have taken the social media platform by storm such as the 'Run 5, Donate 5, Nominate 5' campaign which encourages people to run 5km, donate £5 to support the NHS, and then nominate five friends to do the same.
