For the past month, the Chronicle & Echo has been working with organisations across the town and wider county to pull together a celebration of just some of the key workers and volunteers who have made a difference during lockdown.
The university has supported during the pandemic in many ways. From students and staff going on the frontline to help the health service, starting their own charity and fundraising initiatives and the opening up of vacant student halls to house healthcare professionals. Here is their round up just some of what has been happening, with a big thank you to all of them.
