Hide AdGrace’s mum, Lauren Liggatt, who is herself a key worker at Ability youth care in Chesterfield, said it all started as a way to keep busy during the lockdown.
“Initially we wanted to create a display in the window to beat the bordedom,” she said.
“Grace wanted to put the names of key workers on the love hearts. We started with friends and family but since it went on Facebook it has all gone a bit crazy.
“We’ve got hundreds of names now and I’ve got a huge pile which I need to put up. We’ve filled one window and now moving on to another one.

Grace attends Heath Primary School and has a 19-month-old sister, Willow.
