Story

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page where I am raising money for the NHS SuperHeroes campaign.

Background - In recent weeks I seemed to have returned to my "roots" - for many years, my Father (MD) and Step Mother (Designer) ran a hugely successful family textile manufacturing business. As a youngster, much of my time was spent working there in the holidays: pattern cutting, cutting fabric, sewing, steam ironing, etc. I joined the business, but after a couple of years decided to pursue a totally different career in Leadership and Organisation Development . 

However, with the advent of  the Pandemic Covid 19, I wanted to contribute help in someway  - so have decided to make face masks (not mass production) but from home!

Info about the masks - made from 3 layers of 100% washable cotton which has excellent breathability and decent filtration. These masks are for domestic/general use only and not front-line critical care. 

If you wish to order please face masks please visit my facebook page to find further details and then contact me via messenger. 

The Cause - I am supporting the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS SuperHeroes campaign and all donated monies will go directly to the charity. It will fund Superhero Care Boxes, iPads, a Blood Gas Analyser and extra facilities for UHCW during these challenging times. 

Please donate any amount (however large or small) and support UHCW and its NHS SuperHeroes when they need it most.

ALSO - A big shout out and thank you to the following people and companies that have helped supply fabric and materials:

Dips: (Elastics/Cord) - www.textileenterprises.co.uk 
Mat & Monica: (Fabrics) - www.frumble.co.uk
