School staff are making PPE equipment for the NHS

Tax deductible
Woodbridge High School PTA are supporting the Technology Department in making much needed PPE equipment. 

See their story below:

Due to the kindness and generosity of our supporters thus far, we are now in a position to provide further support in making the desperately needed PPE for our NHS staff and carers on the frontline.

As well as continuing to make visors we would also like to source the materials necessary to make scrubs.

If you are able to assit with sourcing the materials we need for both the scrubs and the visors, please contact school on our designated email address [email redacted].uk with details

It is heartening to see the community pulling together at this difficult time. 

During recent weeks we have seen our NHS and front-line care workers make regular pleas for PPE due to the acute need. Woodbridge High School’s Technology Department have been doing their part to help. We have have made hundreds of visors which have gone out to NHS and frontline staff across Redbridge.

We are able to use our equipment at school to cut the three parts of a mask/visor and we have the staff with the technical expertise to manage and maintain the process.  What we need now are the raw materials to make the masks.  At full capacity we think we can make around 100-150 masks per day and are appealing to our parents and families to support us by contributing to the cost of the materials.  This is a way the Woodbridge High School and the local community, can contribute directly to the support for our vital NHS and wider medical services.  We have contacted a variety of health care organisations including hospitals, care homes and health centres and the demand is overwhelming. 

The intended recipients of the PPE we can produce would be NHS workers and those directly in need of PPE whilst working with patients suffering with the coronavirus.  These include those working directly in hospitals, especially on Covid wards and also care home workers where there is currently a severe shortage of appropriate PPE.  Please help us to help them.

Reaching our target will also mean we will be able to support other COVID-19 related projects in our local community
