McAvoy donated the money to a crowdfunding campaign, #Masks4NHSHeroes set up by a group of doctors to help raise money to buy PPE (personal protective equipment) for staff treating coronavirus patients.
The campaign, which has so far raised £440,000, was set up to raise money for items such as masks, gloves and visors because medics felt they were “going to war without armour and protection.” In a video on Instagram, McAvoy said: “Money donated today will save lives…Help us to help the government to help the NHS.” He added: “The situation is truly urgent and time is of the essence.” You can donate to the campaign here.
