We are relieved, and so grateful, to say that we now have enough hand hygiene products and housekeeping cleaning products.
With the coronavirus situation continuing to unfold, supply chains remain uncertain, and thus, our requirements for essential equipment and supplies here at St Clare are constantly changing. The best way that you can support us is by donating to our Urgent Fundraising Appeal to enable us to buy the supplies we need > stclarehospice.org.uk/urgent-fundraising-appeal
However, there are a few items we are still in desperate need of that have proved difficult to source. These vital supplies help our staff continue safely supporting local people with end of life and palliative care whilst minimising the risk of COVID-19 spreading.
If you, or a local business can donate the following items to us – no matter how many – you’ll be helping us to continue our care for those who need us.
🔸 Long-sleeved disposable gowns
🔸 Plastic disposable aprons
🔸 Medical scrubs (unisex)
🔸 Fluid-resistant face masks
🔸 Dry wipes
If you can donate supplies, please contact our Community Fundraising Manager Dani De’ath on 07718257704 or [email protected]
Thank you so much! ❤️
