Yahoo News BBC Three shares details of new Stacey Dooley programme 'Lockdown Heroes'
Stacey Dooley is bringing a new show to our screens during lockdown, all about people across the country who are working hard to help others.
The Strictly star and broadcaster previously shared on social media that she was working from the home she shares with Kevin Clifton on a documentary, and now it's here to watch.
Stacey Dooley's Lockdown Heroes: What's it about?
"Stuck in her flat but armed with social media and a network of contacts, Stacey reaches out to people across the country in search of those who are trying to help others," the BBC said of the new programme.
"Stacey learns what's driving people to selfless acts up and down the country," the broadcaster added.
We'll also get a glimpse into Stacey's life in lockdown.
"Along the way, Stacey also takes us into her lockdown at her home in London. How she's keeping sane and the difficulties of being stuck at home day in, day out. But with every lockdown hero she finds, she becomes more in awe of mankind's ability to rise to meet a crisis with determination, selflessness and compassion."
The programme features the stories of people doing amazing things.
"In Wigan there’s Charlotte, a teacher turned scrub maker who's making protective equipment and has a backlog of orders to fill. She’s working 14 hour days for free, managing a team of 70 seamstresses to provide desperately needed equipment to frontline services. Those services include people like Serena and Richard, St John Ambulance volunteers who have joined thousands of others to help the health service manage the crisis.
"The impact of the disease is taking its toll, but in Croydon, junior doctor Zainab is working to support those struggling with the challenges of lockdown, and those recovering from the shock of being in Intensive Care. She knew that the workload of a junior doctor can be intense, but she didn’t imagine it would be like this, testing her resilience beyond all expectation- but she is determined to rise to the challenge.
"In Glasgow, Stacey gets in touch with Jonathan, he's hit the streets to support the homeless who were dependent on food handouts that have stopped since the city lockdown. In just a few weeks, countless volunteers have got together to provide food every night for the homeless. These people have no home to be safe inside, and now- more than ever- are dependent on the self-sacrificing kindness of volunteers."
Stacey Dooley: Lockdown heroes airs on BBC Three on Wednesday 6 May.
