“It’s a thing where, I know it’s really sad to say, but during this time we’ve really pulled together as a community, whether that is wearing a mask, sanitising, or following the government’s guidelines and staying at home.”
To show his passion for community spirit, Jay has been working with The National Lottery to create handcrafted benches in honour of people who have supported some of the most vulnerable communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking about the heartwarming project, the star said: “What the National Lottery are doing is celebrating people who are going above and beyond and going outside of their comfort zone to make sure they support the vulnerable people.
“Because if they don’t give it out to them, who is?”
