URGENT APPEAL FOR PPE EQUIPMENT IN SURREY
Please can anybody help
Urgent call for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Surrey’s frontline workers - can you help?
We are writing to you as an organisation or community group who may be able to donate essential PPE equipment for our frontline workers delivering essential services to Surrey residents.
There is currently a very limited supply of PPE coming into the county, understandably the acute hospitals are being prioritised at the moment, but we need to improve this situation for other frontline workers delivering help to vulnerable people. We are short of items such as masks, hand sanitiser and gloves which are fundamental for the good care of individuals with suspected symptoms of Covid-19.
If you have any items that you do not need for your own use from the specific list below, we would be very grateful for donations as soon as possible.
