“I am honoured to be an ambassador for the Retail Trust, our major industry charity. The Trust does hugely important work in supporting our colleagues through some of the most challenging times in their lives. Bereavement, redundancy, debt and mental health – which is at an all-time low during COVID-19 – are all areas where the Trust is there to support with practical advice, grants and training, to help people put their lives back together and return to a position of health and positivity. What is more important than that? This year more than ever the retail sector needs the Retail Trust.”
