Help fund foodbanks during coronavirus crisis with these iconic 'Just Do It' t-shirts

A cool new t-shirt range has been released which helps to fund food banks nationwide whilst reminding people to self-isolate.

The t-shirt range has been created by notjustclothing.co.uk and encourages us all to isolate, as well as to think of others and raise much needed funds for food banks.

£5 from each sale will be donated to the Trussell Trust, which operates some 1200 food banks across the country, providing emergency food for the most vulnerable poeple.

The Edinburgh Food project recently told Edinburgh Live that it expected to see an increase in the number of referrals, with more people out of work because of the pandemic.

Featured in the collection is an update on the iconic design to read ‘Isolate, Just Do It’ - reminding the general public that staying at home will save lives.

Hand sanitiser is also featured with the message to ‘Spread Love’, encouraging people to act with kindness in these uncertain times, GloucestershireLive reports.

Notjust co-founder Andy Will said: “In these unprecedented times we are all feeling a collective sense of uncertainty and fear, as we tackle a global issue on a scale that very few of us have lived through.

"But in these tough times we’re also seeing an inspiring mood of defiance and unity sweep across the world from the balconies of Italy to the letter boxes of Britain.

"We’ve made this collection of charitable t-shirts to play our small part in this global challenge, by reminding people to spread love, be kind and remain vigilant while also raising money to help those who are most vulnerable during the crisis.

“Like many other small businesses, we have been impacted by this virus. As well as donating to the Trussell Trust, the proceeds from these t-shirts will support our small team and the UK manufacturers that we use."

The unisex t-shirts cost £19.99 with free delivery and £5 from every sale donated to the Trussell Trust."

The t-shirts are also produced in the UK on demand to reduce waste and emissions, the company explained.
