George and Amal Clooney have donated more than $1million (£807,000) to the coronavirus relief effort. The generous couple, who have a home in Berkshire, are thought to have donated money to six causes.
That includes $300,000 dollars (£242,000) to the NHS, the relief effort in the Lombardy region of Italy and the Lebanese Food Bank.
Amal, an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, was born in Lebanon. The pair also donated $250,000 (£202,000) to the Motion Picture and Television home – of which George is a board member, and to the US actors’ union SAG-AFTRA Fund.
The same sum went to the Los Angeles Mayor’s Fund, which helps provide childcare for the city’s emergency service and health care workers.
