Charity Clothing

I'm uneasy about the NHS being treated as a charity, but I admire the many people up and down the country who are doing their best to raise money for the NHS, and sew scrubs and masks, because the government is not doing its job properly.
The latest scheme I've heard of, in the Hereford Times today, is from a local online shopping retailer called Blonde Rox, based somewhere near Hay.
They've started selling jumpers with the slogan "Spread Only Kindness". 75% of the profits will go to the Wye Valley NHS Trust. There's also a children's version, where the money is split between the Brecon and Llandrindod Wells food banks, though when she started the scheme a month ago half the money was going to Age UK, as they thought that the elderly would be in most need of help.
