The ICS Wellbeing Packages initiative aims to support the wellbeing and morale of NHS staff caring for ICU patients affected by the outbreak.
Essential items requested for the initiative and donated by the group include toiletries, t-shirts, pyjamas, socks and underwear.
This commitment is part of a broader programme of initiatives by Yoox Net-A-Porter Group to help its communities around the world.
It follows the Volunteered Vehicles initiative, where the company’s Premier Delivery service fleets support charity partners to deliver essential supplies to vulnerable communities.
To date, Yoox Net-A-Porter Group’s Volunteered Vehicles have made over 3300 deliveries of food, essentials and medicines through charities God’s Love We Deliver in New York, the Italian Red Cross in Milan, ImpactHK in Hong Kong, and seven local Age UK charities in London.
