I’m in awe of the charity-workers and community groups across the country who are risking their lives and health to deliver food to the most vulnerable in this time of crisis. I wanted to pay tribute to them so I also made this heart using the colours of the rainbow, a symbol of solidarity and hope, to support the Evening Standard and The Independent’s campaign to raise money for these vital organisations. It’ll be printed in today’s Evening Standard so if you’re able to then pick up a copy and stick it up and show some love and hope in your window. I will also be releasing this one as a print, and the money will be going to support the hungry and those helping them; stay tuned for more info.
