This will make a big difference.

Therapie Clinic has donated all its masks, gloves and hand sanitisers, stock worth more than €50,000 (updated: 11:12am) to local hospitals near its clinics in Ireland and the UK.

The business, run by Irish siblings Philip McGlade and Katie McGlade, has 31 clinics across the country, with one in almost every city from Cork’s Opera Lane to Omagh.

With over 250,000 Botox, filler and laser hair removal clients, the company’s outlets are closed for now due to Covid-19 restrictions, but in the meantime, they are putting their huge stock of hygiene equipment to good use.

Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Mr McGlade said: “As part of our contribution to the fight against Covid-19, we will be donating all our supplies of gloves, sanitisers and masks to all hospitals in UK and Ireland.

“I was in some hospitals today and they are desperate for supplies. I urge everyone to donate what you can. Your country needs you.”
