Story
Summary
Our key workers in the Scottish Borders still need thousands of visors - we need to keep them safe, we need to support our heroes! Every 75p you donate will get a visor to a key worker. This is the cheapest and fastest way to ensure your visor donation goes to the local community.
Hospital and care workers are receiving visors (if you're not, click here) . You might not have realised, but there are very obvious healthcare staff who aren't included in these groups. There are so many other important key workers in our communities too. People are contacting us every day to say they don't have visors and they need our help. With your donation, you will be keeping them safe, so that they can keep us safe.
Our visors are approved by Borders NHS. We can make them very cheaply and very quickly.
£7.50 is enough to make 10 visors and get them to our workers.
£30 buys 40 visors
£75 buys 100 visors.
If you work in the Scottish Borders and need PPE visors, click here to make a request.
As teachers, we've been making visors in school, but it's not enough, so we're fundraising to do more. We only need the cost of materials - we're working with a local business which will make them at cost price. They're also producing for businesses outside the region - we need to act quickly to get visors too.
We'll keep the supply going for as long as people need visors. If we raise more money than we need, we'll donate the rest to the official NHS Borders’ official charity (‘The Difference’).
(A wee disclaimer: We are acting in our capacity as private individuals and as such, our employers are not connected with this fundraising, the collection and responses to the requests we receive for PPE, supply of this PPE, the choice of visor design or our decision to work with the business who has made this offer.)

Stuart Meldrum
Scottish Borders teacher, I've been working with CDT teachers in Kelso, Earlston, Eyemouth, Jedburgh, Selkirk & Hawick. We've made visors for BGH & council key workers. Now fundraising in our spare time to support other workers in our community who don't have access to visors.
