Ralph Lauren

Building on its long-standing collaboration with the world-leading London cancer centre, Ralph Lauren’s Corporate Foundation has made a donation to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity that will enable The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust to purchase a specialist machine to test for Covid-19. The virus presents an especially challenging risk for people with cancer, who are often immunocompromised as a result of their treatment. On-site testing will enable The Royal Marsden to find out whether patients have the virus or not sooner, and the testing will be rolled out to benefit other people with cancer and NHS frontline staff across London, as part of a newly announced cancer hub being led by The Royal Marsden, University College London Hospitals and Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospitals. Ralph Lauren will also donate 50,000 Ralph Lauren products, including pyjamas, T-shirts and other loungewear, for NHS staff across UK hospitals, in collaboration with Helpforce. ralphlauren.co.uk/feature/rl-donation

Oliver Spencer

The British menswear brand has been a long-standing supporter of Shine Cancer Support and has pledged to donate 10 per cent of all sales throughout the quarantine period to the charity. Oliver Spencer made the decision to further its support for Shine Cancer Support during this period due to concern that important causes were no longer receiving the level of aid they need while the country concentrates on combating the Covid-19 outbreak. Shine works with young adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have cancer to offer them tailored information and support.

Bremont Watches

British watchmaker Bremont has put in a bid to the government to help manufacture parts for much-needed ventilators in the UK. Mechanical watchmaking is micro-engineering that sees watch movements and components machined to a couple of microns tolerance (a human hair would be around 80 microns to put it into perspective), and interestingly, Dr Ian Charles Woolrych English, the grandfather of Bremont’s founders Nick and Giles English, is credited for having developed the Brompton Manley ventilator with Roger Manley in 1970. bremont.com

Belstaff

The British luxury outerwear and leather specialist is joining forces with The Big Issue Foundation to help support the homeless.

In order to support this community, Belstaff has pledged that for every jacket sold, from now until 15 May, the brand will donate one completely free to a Big Issue seller, ready for them to use as soon as they are able to resume their work. Belstaff currently has a spring sale of up to 30 per cent off, making it an even better time to look for a new jacket. belstaff.com

Emma Willis

Another Jermyn Street shirtmaker that has turned its cutting tables into sewing machines to produce NHS hospital scrubs is Emma Willis. Using Swiss cotton it already has in stock for speed, the medics are sure to be glad of cooler cottons than the usual polyester cotton, as they have to wear the scrubs under protective overalls. The brand will be grateful of donations towards the cost of the fabric – £30 will cover one pair of scrubs – and once normality resumes, the names of all donors will be placed into a hat. The winner picked out will receive two bespoke shirts of their choice. To make a donation, please click here; emmawillis.com
