Here at County Wedding Magazine we've been amazed at businesses stepping up to show their gratitude to the NHS staff and key workers across the country. The Luxury Spa Edit has teamed up with some of the most stunning spa hotels in the UK to launch Wellness For Heroes.
Luxury spa collection website, The Luxury Spa Edit, has joined forces with some of the most prestigious spa hotels across the UK to say a big thank you to those putting their own lives at risk to help others during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Properties that have donated to the Wellness For Heroes initiative include The Langley, Beaverbrook, Lucknam Park, The Grove, Stoke Park, The Langham, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, South Lodge, Pennyhill Park, Ockenden Manor, Bailiffscourt, St Michaels Resort, Grantley Hall, Seaham Hall, Thyme, Rockliffe Hall and Archerfield House. Spa brands that have donated include Temple Spa, Elemental Herbology and Germaine de Capuccini.
"These are worrying and uncertain times for all of us, but those working on the frontline have the added anxiety of putting themselves at risk on a daily basis" said The Luxury Spa Edit founder Lisa Brown. "Sadly I, along with many others, have a loved one who has been hospitalised with the Covid-19 virus. Our NHS staff are under a huge amount of pressure and doing an incredible job to help save lives every day. I'm also mindful of the key workers - carers, public service and education workers - that are keeping us all going through this difficult time. I'm incredibly grateful to our spa partners who have been so generous with their donations. Our competitions will allow some of our heroes to take a much deserved wellness break."

The competition is open to all NHS staff and key frontline workers until July 31st.
