CAN YOU HELP THE NHS? DO YOU LIKE SEWING? THEN YES YOU CAN HELP

Many Hospitals and care homes etc are desperate for scrubs and scrub bags and many local groups are being set up to organise sewers, issuing patterns and often fabric kits.

There is a Facebook page called ‘For The Love Of Scrubs’ which can be found by following this link:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1500699350098765/?ref=group_header

This group was formed after identifying a shortage in supply for scrubs to frontline NHS staff during the 2020 COVID-19 Epidemic. This Facebook group is a platform to enable those who are able to, and would like to contribute towards supplying hospitals local to themselves with scrubs for front line workers. Some hospitals in the UK are facing shortfall in scrubs and PPE, this means our nurses are not as safe as they should be. They are aiming to produce 100+ sets of adult nursing scrubs.

Patterns and designs can be accessed via the link below:

I hope some of our members can assist.
