Freedom of the City and County Borough of Belfast

In March 2020 the WHO declared COVID 19, a pandemic, rapidly spreading across the globe. Our health and social care workers alongside a wide range of community agencies mobilised their resources to support those affected and made outstanding efforts to contain the spread of the virus. They worked to look after those who were seriously ill and those who were self-isolating, often at risk to their own health and that of their loved ones. As a City we are indebted to them for their selfless and outstanding service during a public health emergency. 

 

Accordingly, in recognition of this,  the Council agrees to confer the Freedom of the City and County Borough of Belfast on healthcare workers and those who worked tirelessly on the frontline and they are hereby elected and admitted to the Freedom of the (City and County) Borough.
