CLCKR Launches Rainbow Design in Aid of NHS Charities Together COVID-19 Urgent Appeal. #NHS #CLCKR

CLCKR, the mobile phone accessory company, announced today that it has launched a new limited-edition Rainbow CLCKR phone stand and grip. Designed as a ‘thank you’ to frontline workers during the coronavirus crisis, the Rainbow CLCKR features the rainbow – a universal symbol of hope and peace that, along with the #clapforourcarers movement, illustrates our communities’ support for all kinds of care workers during this time. All UK profits from the sale of the Rainbow CLCKR will be donated in aid of the NHS Charities Together COVID-19 Urgent Appeal.

The Rainbow CLCKR is available to pre-order from today via https://www.clckr.com/uk/universal-stand-rainbow.

The Rainbow CLCKR

The Rainbow CLCKR phone stand and grip is compatible with any mobile handset and enables multiple viewing positions for people who love to consume or create content and stay in touch – whether at home or on-the-go. CLCKR’s grip provides a firmer hold and safer use of your device. As with all CLCKR products, this item is designed with style, functionality and enjoyment firmly in mind.

CLCKR is an invaluable accessory for productivity, connectivity and creativity – especially handy while we’re in lockdown. Use it to:

  • Position your phone in portrait or landscape mode to video call with friends or family
  • Hold your phone comfortably and take brilliant selfies
  • Utilise the secure grip to make calls or use your phone on-the-go
  • Stand your phone up and use it as a second screen while working
  • Binge-watch your favourite films or TV shows hands-free

The Rainbow CLCKR is a limited-edition version of the Universal CLCKR, a patented, multi-functional stand and grip which is slimmer than any other product on the market, fits onto any device, and is easy to apply using 3M™ adhesive that does not leave residue. Its rainbow design is a sign of gratitude to care workers, with the rainbow now a recognised symbol of support for those fulfilling care or key roles during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as its traditional associations with hope and peace. The limited-edition rainbow design makes this CLCKR the perfect way to show your support through purchasing a product that will be used every time you pick up or look at your phone, long after the current crisis has passed.

Phil Mulholland, Chief Marketing Officer & Managing Director, CLCKR, commented:

“Like everyone else, we’ve been moved by the important work carried out by frontline workers during this time to keep us safe. The show of support for them at our doorsteps, on our balconies and out of windows has been a highlight of our weeks in lockdown. At CLCKR, we wanted to do our bit to help and we look forward to contributing all UK profits from online sales of the Rainbow CLCKR to the COVID-19 fundraising appeal by NHS Charities Together.”     

The Rainbow CLCKR stand and grip is available to pre-order now, priced at £12.99, with all UK profits going to the NHS Charities Together COVID-19 Urgent Appeal.

Local software companies deliver dedicated Northern Ireland Covid-19 App. #Civica #Covid-19NI

The Department of Health today launched a new Covid-19 information app which was commissioned and delivered in just two weeks by locally based cloud software specialists CIVICA in partnership with Big Motive.

“Covid-19 NI is one of the first dedicated tool of its kind in the UK and Ireland and demonstrates that our local Department of Health and the HSC were well ahead of the game in knowing exactly what they wanted and securing it in record time,” explained Mark Owens, Managing Director of CIVICA Northern Ireland.

“The App is simple to download and use and has three core functions, firstly an in-app symptom checker for Coronavirus (COVID-19) leading the user to appropriate medical advice and onward links to further information; secondly a chat bot with natural language interface to answer users’ questions which will be enhanced and expanded with time, usage and feedback; and thirdly a push notification service with the ability to push messages out to user’s devices very similar to text messages alerting people to things like significant changes to official status or advice.

“Our brief was to provide a trusted single source of information dedicated to providing the population of Northern Ireland with immediate advice that should ease pressure on GP surgeries, pharmacies and of course Hospitals.

“ I cannot stress how unprecedented it is in our industry to produce an App of this nature so quickly and we could not have done it without the skills and dedication of our developers who were determined to do their best to support our amazing NHS.

“We all know the pressure on our medical services is going to be extraordinary and we believe this is going to be a critical tool for those who need local information immediately.

“It is the duty of every business in Northern Ireland to do their bit to support the Executive, the Government Departments and to realise that it is vital we all work together to beat this Pandemic, use our skills, our ingenuity and retool where necessary to support each other and our economy,” concluded Mark.

The App is available on Google Play store, Apple store, Windows 10 app store.
