In this 2-minute update we share a quick round-up of some of the good news which is happening during these tough times.
Welcome to what will be a regular Feelgood Friday update from us at
Alan Batt Sales and Lettings
For every episode of selfish panic buying, there are a dozens of examples of selfless behaviour and random acts of kindness in our Wigan Community
We’re in the strangest and most surreal period of modern history.
But it’s in these darkest of times many people can, and do, shine their brightest lights.
And here are five reasons to be cheerful and optimistic in Wigan that will help pull us through this testing period.
Clap for Carers
It was amazing and moving last night at 8 pm to see and hear people across the UK come out of their front doors and applaud the heroes of the NHS.
In fact I want to go on record for their help last night with my dad. Thank You
The Volunteer Army
On Tuesday, Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, initially issued a request for 250,000 people to give their time to help the 1.5 million vulnerable people who have to self-isolate for 12 weeks. More than 500,000 people signed up for this volunteer army in just 24 hours. And that number is growing fast.
Rainbow Nation
Hundreds of home-schooled kids across Wigan have been spreading a little cheer this week by drawing and colouring in rainbows. These rainbows have been put in the windows of homes across the community to give a little lift to passers-by.
Our Community Cares
We have heard of lots of lovely stories of kindness, compassion and generosity across Wigan. It makes us proud to serve this community, and as a local business, we will do all we can to help you.
Please send or share with us your examples of local heroes. It could be a video of your street applauding the NHS, your children’s rainbows or something positive done locally that you’ve heard about.
And Finally
If you get a chance, check out the adorable video of two puppies exploring an aquarium in the USA which is closed to humans, due to you know what.

Puppies + Ocean Voyager = Quarantine therapy Our friends at Atlanta Humane Society stopped by for a brief puppy field trip while the Aquarium was closed with pups Odie and Carmel. It was such a ruff day. They explored, they napped, and they played. Siblings Odie and Carmel are two of the 200+ dogs from Atlanta Humane Society ...
