Clothes Aid will continue to operate as normal during the current situation, following advice from the UK Government/Public Health England who have advised that people receiving mail are not at risk of contracting the Coronavirus, stating ‘There is no perceived increase in risk for handling post’. This compliments the highly publicised guidance for people to wash their hands more often than usual using soap and hot water.

We are actively monitoring this rapidly evolving situation. We take the Health and Safety of our donators, employees and the communities we operate in, very seriously.
