Masks for NHS Heroes
24th May 2020Final Update: Closing of our Crowdfunder - Our Sincere Gratitude for your Support!
To All Our Valued Supporters,
The time has come for us to draw our Crowdfunder “Masks for NHS Heroes” to a close, set to be on the 1st of June. If you would like to continue to support us, please do get in touch with us directly ([email protected]).
We launched our charitable campaign on the 26th of March 2020 as a group of individuals wishing to serve the NHS frontline workers by garnering support to supply PPE. Within days we were completely astonished and overwhelmed at the incredible generosity of the public and all our supporters. Your heartfelt comments and stories moved us beyond measure, inspiring us along our journey. Despite all the challenges we faced, you, our loyal supporters continued to shower us with unparalleled kindness and unwavering belief in our cause.
Together with you on this journey, Masks for NHS Heroes has delivered 200,000 full face shield visors to over 26 acute NHS trusts in the UK including Scotland, GP CCGs covering over 160 practices, a regional ambulance service, care homes and hospices. We further supplied 800,000 face masks across the UK - 400,000 for over 400 care homes and 400,000 supplying NHS Trusts. And this week alone, we have further supplied 180,000 critically needed gowns to the NHS directly.
Your donations have directly helped supply 1.08 million items of PPE to the UK. This is a phenomenal national effort within 2 MONTHS in protecting our loved ones and friends on the frontline and you should be immensely proud ! We are creating a collective visual infographic which will depict our distribution effort on our website (http://www.masksfornhsheroes.com).
We cannot thank enough each and every one of our supporters who have stood by us and whose donations have truly been far reaching in the PPE effort against COVID-19.
- Wishing You All the very best from all of us here at the Masks for NHS Heroes Team. We hope you and your loved ones remain safe and look forward to the situation continuing to improve.
