Collaborations

Matt Lucas, Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory team up with LEON


30 03 2020

Matt Lucas, Damian Lewis and The Estate Of Helen McCrory have launched the FeedNHS campaign in partnership with LEON, raising funds to deliver the food chain's meals directly to key workers on the frontline who're dealing with the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

FeedNHS will initially be working with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to deliver 5600 hot meals per day to critical care staff, in five of their major hospitals, and Lewis said 'With cafes closed and staff working longer hours, eating at work was becoming a real problem. Our first point of call was John Vincent at LEON and we had to go no further. Together we are working on providing the solution that is desperately needed. We are giving money ourselves and inviting others to do the same'. Comedian Lucas has also reworked version of his famous Baked Potato Song as a new single, Thank You Baked Potato, available from April 3, with all proceeds going to the FeedNHS campaign.
