Producing PPE/Face Shields for the North-East

We are currently producing face shields/visors for medical personnel and facilities, mainly around the north-east of England.  We've already bought enough material to produce 2000 of these visors and these are currently being distributed to local hospices, GP surgeries and social care housing. 

We now need to raise funds to buy another delivery of material to produce another batch of 2000 face shields, to continue supplying the requests that we've had so far. 

We can produce these at around 200 per day, so another delivery of materials will allow us to keep production going for approximately 3 weeks.

We hope that the Covid-19 situation will have calmed down by then and traditional PPE supply routes will be on top of things again.  But if these shields are still needed beyond that point then we will do our best to keep producing them for as long as there is a demand for them.

Any extra funding that we've received can be used to buy extra acetate sheets, which will allow people to re-use the headbands with new face shields.  And any funding left at the end of the campaign will go towards a local charity, armed forces support group or food bank.  There are a lot of people giving their time to help us all get through this pandemic so we'll make sure any money goes to someone suitable.
