How did Fancy Dress 4 NHS start?

The front line health and care staff have been under a huge amount of pressure to cope with growing cases of COVID-19, often working overtime and with growing pressure. Adam Fillary saw the effects and on the back of #clap4NHS, started Fancy Dress 4 NHS. Adam highlights “Being able to bring a smile to people’s faces at the hardest of times, whilst raising money and showing the public support for those giving dedicated support on the frontline has been a privilege. This great cause is a perfect way to give back to where it’s most needed.”
