What is National Superhero Day?

 Do you have a favourite Superhero? If you do then April the 28th is their day of glory. 

Since 1995 we have been celebrating national superhero day on April 28th which honours both real and fictional characters that we love. 

Batman, Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Hulk, and Spiderman are just some of the names we recognise. 

All of them have special powers: usually great strength and a special ability that they use to help to protect people and fight evil and injustice.

Recognise our Real Life Superheroes 

Superhero NHS Staff : There are more normal superheroes hidden inside everyday people and recently we have heard a lot about the superheroes on the front line. The Doctors and Nurses that are fighting an evil virus that is taking our loved ones away from us far too soon.  

Superhero Care Workers: Care home workers that have chosen to live at work just so they can protect other peoples loved ones, these are all examples of a modern Superhero. 

Superhero Key Workers: All those key workers are putting themselves on the front line still working in the community throughout this epidemic- you are all awesome and are helping to keep us alive too.
