Story
We are a group of over 120 volunteers (this is growing daily!) in Birmingham and surrounding areas sewing scrubs & uniform laundry bags for our hospitals and GPs. Hundrands of metres of fabric has been used, of which scrub packs have been made up and sent out to our volunteer sewists to be stitched into scrub sets! We operate from a facebook page called 'For The Love Of Scrubs - Birmingham Sub Group'. Our group is a sub group of 'For The Love Of Scrubs'. Im the assigned coordinator for Bham. The groups' purpose is to form a community of sewists that are local and all in one place. We also accept direct requests from NHS key workers in need in this space.
We need money urgently to buy more fabric for scrubs that are desperately needed. During this time of national crisis many clinical workers have been re-deployed, returned to the service etc that are short of scrubs. Please help us! NHS Birmingham Trusts need you!
If you can help sew please contact us, we need your skill set.
If you are in need please join our facebook page and we will endevour to help.
If you work for the NHS (Birmingham and Solihull Trusts) and are in a position to accept donations from us please contact Chanel via our facebook page (link below) who will coordinate what you need.
Finally! All of our sewists and coordinators are volunteers and all of our creations are donated to trusts and individual workers for free. Our ethos is to help our NHS by staying home and MAKING this time easier for key workers.
We would not be doing this if it wasn’t for the great work of the fantastic group For The Love Of Scrubs. We aim to play our part in servicing our region to the best of our abilities. We salute you! Below is the link to our HQ's facebook page:
