CCFTV feels heartache for all the families and carers that sacrificed so much to help keep vulnerable people safe during the start of the lockdown. We now know our PM has admitted to attending the “garden party” at 10 Downing Street in May 2020, telling us what we already know and that’s one rule for them and another for the rest of us.

The Government officials who endorsed this event and attended the supposedly "work jolly" whilst the rest of the country couldn’t hold the hand of their dying friends and relatives, should not only hang their heads in shame but should resign.

While families were forced to peek through windows at loved ones, denied visits and painstakingly look through glass partitions many were forced to watch loved ones deteriorate, CCFTV supported these families telling us they weren’t allowed to sit and hold the hand of a loved one living in a care home or hospital unable to reassure or hug them for one last time. These grieving relatives and friends were left emotionally battered, some living with post-traumatic stress, suffering breakdowns and overwhelming feelings of guilt, we can only imagine how they must feel now.

Diane Reeve died in hospital. Sharon told CCFTV "The PM has made a mockery of the families who are grieving.''

Sharon Chalk contacted CCFTV when her mother was living in a care home and at the time told us she kissed her mother goodbye on the first lockdown in her care home and that was the last time she saw her until she was transferred to hospital. Sharon explained staff made contact reporting her mother Diane was declining fast and not eating. Asking to go in the home with full PPE to help assist her mum this request was denied due to the 'rules.' and on the 1st May 2020 her mother sadly passed away. Sharon told CCFTV today, '' On hearing the news about our PM, I will never forgive the Government for making a 'mockery' of my grief.''
