Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service opens fire stations for PPE donations

摘要

#ppe4nhs was set up to encourage local businesses to donate their spare stocks of PPE to the NHS and keyworkers. PPE could include: disposable aprons, fluid resistant face masks, nitrile gloves, medical gowns/coveralls and hand sanitiser. Spearheaded by Martin Rigley MBE, the campaign started in Ashfield and has now spread across the whole of Nottinghamshire, over the border into Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. More than 58,000 items of PPE have already been donated in Nottinghamshire and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service says it is proud to support #ppe4nhs by opening up 18 stations as drop off centres for donations. Group Manager for Prevention, Andy Macey, said: "The service is already working hard to give back and support the local community including the NHS and keyworkers. This is just another small addition to what the service can do to contribute in these challenging times.
