Thank you to our health workers

From the 2020 Annual Report

While all of our Primark stores were closed due to COVID-19, many of our teams around the world diverted their efforts to putting together donation packs. This work was in direct response to calls from health authorities, including the NHS in the UK, and charities, for urgent supplies of everyday items.

Primark care packs were given to busy health workers and others working back-to-back shifts or who were staying away from home, often to protect their families from infection. They were also offered to patients who had no means of getting a fresh change of clothes or toiletries from home.

It was Primark’s way of saying thank you to the healthcare heroes working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19.


450,000

Primark donated 450,000 products, such as underwear, leggings, t-shirts, footwear, toiletries and towels to hospitals, charities and health workers.


140,000

The business also distributed 140,000 Easter food products to homeless shelters, hospitals and charities.
