Leading cadet Apple-Jane from Brentwood has put pen to paper, writing a heartfelt letter to all young people who have parents working as essential workers, encouraging them to be strong and proud of the work their parents are doing. Apple-Jane’s own father is a fire fighter who faces daily danger in his day job. 

Apple-Jane has also been volunteering during the lockdown by supporting the most vulnerable. By offering friendly chats through the Brentwood Covid-19 Mutual Aid group and the Royal Naval Association. 

We’ve been totally blown away by LC’s Apple-Jane’s letter and hope it can help children like her who have a parent as a front line worker.
