    Story

    We're trying to raise a minimum of £3500 (obviously we would love to raise more!) to buy essential PPE for local care homes, home carers and the NHS. We're hoping to start with reusable visors and depending on people's generosity, much much more. Every day, thousands of people are leaving their homes and families to go and care for our loved ones in their homes and the wards where people affected by the Corona virus are being nursed. They're putting themselves at risk everytime that they step outside the safety of their front doors and a lot of them don't even have the appropriate PPE. There have been reports of nurses resorting to using bin bags to protect themselves and it's about time something was done about it. If you can donate, it doesn't matter how much, every single penny will count. We have a supplier lined up, we just need the funds to buy them.

      Thanks to a certain Mr Pellow this afternoon, who gave us a wee name check, dedicated his song Angel Eyes and shared our Just Giving page link on his page, we've hit our £2500 target!! There's so many different people needing our help right now and we will keep going as long as funds are coming in and we are receiving requests. Thank you so much for donating to our cause, you don't know how much it means to us but the response and the thanks we receive when we hand this PPE over to frontline workers, is just priceless. Thank you so so much x

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    Great people make things happen

    Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

    Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!

    A brief conversation with family & friends on Facebook about how we could help people like Karen's daughter, who is working on the frontline as a nurse, in Covid wards, without the correct PPE resulted in us creating this Just Giving page to try & help as many people as we can.
