Brands launch charity T-shirts to support NHS
Retailers and brands including Asos, Boohoo Group, and I Saw It First,
have launched charity T-shirts to raise vital funds for the NHS as a way of
supporting frontline health care workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Asos launches Choose Love NHS charity tee designed by Katharine
Hamnett
Online retailer Asos has launched a limited edition Choose Love T-shirt
range to raise funds for care worlds and NHS staff. The T-shirts designed
by Katharine Hamnett, have been sourced and printed by Asos to replicate
the designer’s iconic Choose Love t-shirts, with new slogans ‘Choose Our
Carers’ and ‘Choose Our NHS’.
The new designs aim to show “solidarity and support for the nation’s
care workers and NHS staff,” explained Asos, while also raising vital funds
as net profits from the T-shirt sales will be donated to The Care Workers
Charity and NHS Charities Together. In addition, Asos will also make an
additional donation to match the net profits raised through sales via its
sites.
The Choose Our Carers and Choose Out NHS organic cotton T-shirts cost 20
pounds each.
Josie Naughton, chief executive of Help Refugees / Choose Love, said in
a statement: “Our incredible care workers and NHS staff are choosing love
every day as they help others. These t-shirts are our way of showing love
for them in our turn. We are so honoured to be able to support the ordinary
people who are doing extraordinary things in the face of this pandemic.”
Ellie Orten, chief executive of NHS Charities, added: “We’ve been
overwhelmed by the public’s support for the NHS and the Choose Love
t-shirts will help raise valuable funds for frontline NHS staff, volunteers
and patients at this incredibly difficult time. We must never underestimate
the importance of showing our continued solidarity and support to the NHS
workforce.”
