Story
The NHS frontline are the most vulnerable to COVID 19 yet they continually risk their lives in order to save ours and yours. There is now a national shortage of protective equipment available with images released of NHS staff using bin liners for protection. This simply is inhuman. The NHS frontline Need our Help!
Together with a fellow property entrepreneur, Jinny Degrano, two factories have been identified that are willing to supply facemarks at factory prices.
This means surgical face masks will cost us 22p each, with a minimum order of 10,000. On top of this there will be shipping and distribution costs, with initial projections (subject to currency variations) suggest a base cost of £1.00 for surgical masks.
A £20 donation will supply 20 masks to our front line NHS staff who need it most and WILL save their life.
Our fundraiser shouldn't be necessary but sadly it is, so please donate generously. This is a NON PROFIT initiative.
Any monies left over from the transaction will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital who themselves who are under extreme pressure after taking in children from hospitals to free up beds around the UK.
If you work for the NHS and could benefit, please send us your contact details and we will endeavour to ensure protective face masks are sent out to you.
