He said: "We're all focusing on the people immediately affected like the elderly and vulnerable, but not about the people on the frontline, fighting for us everyday.

"It is an act of kindness from us."

The Real Junk Food Project will be offering one to two boxes of food to all NHS workers with no time line or restrictions on how many times they can visit.

They are subject to availability, but Adam said he would like to reassure the community "they will not be closing as people still need food".
