Howsafe PPE Bank - Helping during the crisis

[Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment]

Last Thursday we launched the Howsafe PPE Bank – the idea was to ask our customers, suppliers and the local community to donate their unwanted personal protection equipment so that it can be recirculated into local care homes and volunteers that really need it during the Covid-19 crisis.

 

Howsafe have made a starting donation of PPE and whilst early days, we have already had some donations from customers.

 

Our first delivery will be delivered today to Philia Lodge Rest Home in Peterborough where there have very sadly been a reported number of deaths due to the virus. The delivery consists of gloves, eyewear and disposable masks. The rest home made national news yesterday with six deaths - the staff I have spoken with their are devastated and our thoughts go out to the care team , the residents and families that have lost loved ones.

Any help you can be to help us spread the news would be much appreciated -  any donations of PPE would be hugely appreciated and our promises is, that your PPE will be going out to the care homes and volunteers that are truly in need.

Just to give this one a bump

I did something similar, I found 220 face masks in my shed and a couple of boxes of gloves so I gave my local doctors practice a call to see if they could use them, turns out they were desperate for them, makes you feel good knowing you've helped with their protection. I just wish I could help my daughter, she's a doctor in Australia
