Face masks have quickly become the new norm in everyday life and allow us to travel safely on public transport too. As a company, our aim has always been to bring people together through all life’s moments, including the most difficult times. So, it became evident early on that we needed to play a part in connecting and helping others during this difficult time.
Why have we created our positivity masks?
Our positivity masks are designed to promote self-expression amid the pandemic, whilst allowing wearers to make a meaningful contribution to charity at the same time.
As you may be aware at Ellie Ellie we have been supporting St Barnabas House since 2017, you can check out our charity events and money raised here. So we felt compelled to find a way to raise money after hearing about the hospice’s drop in fundraising income due to COVID-19.
A lot of standard face masks which are on the market can actually look quite scary. And like a lot of people, I found that whenever I wore one out to the supermarket I really struggled to convey warmth and friendliness through my eyes alone.
We wanted to offer an alternative – something that allows people to protect themselves and others, but also spread positivity. When I heard how much COVID-19 had impacted St Barnabas and their fundraising income, I knew that I wanted to do something to help. Which is why £1 from every mask sold will be divided between St Barnabas and NHS Charities Together.
Over the last three years Ellie Ellie has raised over £5,000 for St Barnabas House through overseas treks, fundraising events and team challenges.
A message from St Barnabas House

Local businesses are coming up with some really innovative ways to fundraise amidst the pandemic and their drive and commitment is helping to ensure that we can continue providing care services in the months ahead.”
