After all 55 of its high street stores in the UK and Ireland closed yesterday, Kurt Geiger is encouraging its staff to now spend their time giving back.
The accessories brand announced to its 2500-strong workforce, many of whom are store workers who will be unable to work remotely following closures, a plan to help employees support their local communities whilst they are off work and receiving full pay.
Kurt Geiger has aligned with Age UK who have launched a neighbourly volunteering scheme and has asked all of its employees to spend some of the time they are not working to volunteer with Age UK in their local communities.
The brand's CEO, Neil Clifford - whose salary is now suspended until stores open again - said, "“It’s clear that community life and extra acts of kindness will help build invaluable support in this unprecedented time, particularly for the vulnerable and isolated."
