NH-Yes pin badge

NH-Yes pin badge, designed by Carl Godfrey and purchased to help raise funds for NHS Charities Together during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020

Originally a ‘passion project’ by designer Carl Godfrey to celebrate the NHS turning 70 in 2018, orders for these badges took off during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having spent time in hospital after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Godfrey explained that: “every time I use the service I’m thankful for the care, generosity and support of the staff that make the NHS. So in return, I made this badge. A badge for the nurses, doctors, patients and families. For anyone who’s ever used or contributed to our greatest asset. A badge to say ‘Yes’ to the NHS and long may it continue.” The enamel pins were available to buy for £4, with all profits going to NHS charities. By May 2020, more than 1,700 badges had been sold, raising £4,200.
