Look Good, Do Good: 15 chic products that donate to the NHS

By Jenny Brownlees

As a small token of thanks to the everyday heroes working on the frontline and behind the scenes in the Covid-19 effort, brands – from well-known retailers to small independent businesses – have got to work designing products that donate to NHS charity efforts.

We are incredibly lucky to have the National Health Service. It’s free and always there when we need it. The NHS is not a charity, but unfortunately, it has not always been adequately funded, meaning services are stretched and the support of charity is needed in the fight against this global pandemic.

By buying one of the following products, you are helping the NHS and all that keep it running – from nurses and doctors to porters, cleaners and volunteers. The fantastic products we mention are supporting official schemes from the local to the nationwide, from NHS Charities Together, Meals for the NHS and more. A brilliant way to show your solidarity with those who are fighting to save lives – these are the 15 best-buys that give back.

Kindred Thank You NHS T-shirt

You may have spotted celebrities including Laura Whitmore, Claudia Winkleman, Holly Willoughby and Cheryl Cole wearing this ‘Thank You’ charity tee by Kindred – why not follow suit?

Not only will all the proceeds from the sale of this t-shirt go directly to NHS Charities Together, but all items are also organic and ethically made. Not to leave the little ones out, there’s a children’s version available, too.

Chinti and Parker Berry Anni Heart Cotton T-Shirt x Meals for the NHS 

British knitwear brand Chinti and Parker launched their ‘Hearts for our NHS’ to support Meals for the NHS, a not for profit initiative which teams up with local restaurants to provide much-needed nutritious meals to frontline heroes (who often work 18-hour shifts.) They have already donated over £11,500 to the cause so far, thanks to their looping heart designed tops – that’s the equivalent of 2,300 delicious meals for NHS workers. Add to your summer t-shirt collection with this wear-forever berry tee, which not only donates all its profits to the charity initiative but is made using sustainable materials and methods.  

Love Me Do Clothing NHS Charity Rainbow T-shirt

A welcome addition to any wardrobe, Love Me Do’s rainbow tee will donate all proceeds to Worcestershire NHS. Best of all, this organic, perfect fit tee has been printed using low waste technology by a certified organic company right here in the UK. Spending your money on an initiative that helps the NHS and the environment is an all round win-win.

Tatiana Alida x British Red Cross Tees

We adore Tatiana’s quirky artwork (she has previously partnered with Liberty London and Victoria Beckham) so when we heard she had teamed with SUITCASE’s Serena Guen, fashion consultant Sophie Goodwin and fashion PR Sophie Elliott to raise money for the British Red Cross UK Crisis Appeal – we knew we were in for a treat. This tee comes in three playful, equally trendy designs – “Honey I’m home” “Home and Away“ and “I Stayed In.” All are emblazoned with Tatiana’s instantly recognisable, chic prints. All proceeds from sales go to the The Red Cross’ Coronavirus Response Appeal, who are helping the most vulnerable by supporting the NHS, Food Banks and more. In fact, the charity have been so overwhelmed by the positive response to the tees, two new unisex styles with the slogan ‘Lockdown 2020’ have been added. Staying in to stop the spread of Covid-19? Be there, do that and get the (stylish) t-shirt.

Tu Sainsbury’s NHS Adults Unisex Navy ‘Together’ T-Shirt

Crafted from the softest, pure cotton, this classic crew neck tee features the pandemic’s now-iconic rainbow graphic paired with the slogan, ‘In this together. We thank you.’ All profits from the unisex adult tees and matching children’s styles will go to NHS Charities Together.

Marks and Spencer Women’s NHS Charities Together Slogan T-Shirt 

For a splash of colour, M&S’ ‘All In This Together’ tee is a winning pick. Made from sustainably sourced cotton for a soft and breathable feel, donning this tee is a great way to wear your support on your sleeve, (or make that your chest!) With all profits from sales going to fund NHS Charities Together vital work.
