Story
In the fight against CoVID-19, our beloved NHS and its outstanding workforce are struggling to secure the necessary PPE to protect themselves whilst saving the lives of our loved ones. Our doctors, nurses, physicians, carers, pharmacists are all putting their lives at risk, day in day out to help us. We are in the fortunate position of being able to help them; and we intend to.
We have the 3D printing capability & capacity to produce face visor shields; one of the many pieces of PPE being used by our NHS. Whilst the global supply chain for these products ramps up, there is a clear shortage and they are needed NOW.
We will 3D print these face visor shields to be given to the NHS and/or key workers free of charge, and intend to exceed 200 units. 60 units have already been requested by staff at Rotherham NHS Hospital, and we are in contact with staff at Nottinghamshire hospital.
Now more than ever, our NHS workers need us! Here is to hoping you can help! We will use any donation you give to procure the 3D printing filament, elasticated cotton headbands, and PVC sheets to help manufacture. Any donation is welcome.
Any funds remaining after demand reaches zero will be donated to the Alzheimer's Society - the UK's largest dementia charity.
Thank you, Thomas

4 years agoThis weekend we delivered our 870th free face visor shield to Nottingham QMC. Our deliveries have reached Rotherham, Barnsley, Nottingham, and Hopewood Hospitals, as well as the North West Leicestershire Primary Care Network, and a small fleet of care homes! All have been hugely appreciated, and all because of the donations YOU have made. Thank you for your generosity :) Here is the thanks from Ventress Hall Care Home...
