During the coronavirus pandemic, Patrick campaigned for people to make masks at home.

He also used one of his businesses, the Community Clothing label, which is made at Cookson & Clegg’s factory in Blackburn, to make PPE in the form of scrubs and anti-viral snoods for the NHS.

In 2018, Patrick was named co-chair of the Prince of Wales’ charity Future Textiles, an organisation that works towards creating jobs in the UK’s garment making industry.

Then in 2023 he hosted a BBC documentary called Coronation Tailors: Fit for a King.

The one-off special went behind-the-scenes at the family business creating thousands of bespoke ceremonial uniforms for the King’s coronation.
