These are the fashion brands making significant efforts to help during Covid-19

Things might be uncertain at the moment but one thing we do know is that when it comes to rallying around those that need it - the fashion pack have been some of the first to step up.

Here’s how these stylish stores are helping...

All UK store managers are working with their Local NHS Hospitals to give £100 gift cards to 55 NHS workers in the critical care departments of their local hospitals.

As all store have been closed, over 2,000 Kurt Geiger store workers were asked to utilise their time whilst they are paid and not working to become part of their local communities, volunteering scheme for employees with Age UK underway and active across the country. NHS workers will also receive a 50% discount for a year in all Kurt Geiger stores once they re-open.

Supermodel Jourdan Dunn commented on the move saying, "Now is a time for us all to play a part in our communities and Kurt Geiger’s initiative to encourage all of their workforce to support their communities and work with the elderly is an example I hope we will all follow. Given the shortness of blood the NHS already has, it’s more necessary than ever for us to come forward and donate blood - especially those with rare blood groups.” Bravo!
