Throughout this process of making PPE Face Shields we have been put in contact with a range of other people working in similar ways to help our Front-Line Workers... Checkout the amazing work that Kirsty is doing ππβ€οΈ
Who will be back outside banging their saucepans, cheering our care workers and driving the dogs on their streets potty again tonight? πππ

Excuse my make up free face and scruffy hair, (it is essential to look this way in lockdown π¬) but this is me last week with one of the batches of scrubs I've been volunteering to help make for NHS and care workers. I have just posted out some sets for my sister who is a respiratory nurse and have more in my mini production line.
Incredibly, the group I have been working with has ordered nearly 900 meters of fabric π€― so this is an amazing effort and I'm really proud to be part of it and lucky to have such fantastic people coordinating us.
