We'll get some down to you, no worries.

I am sure there must be similar situations up near you as well but I expect these small businesses - with hugely dedicated staff - probably are unaware that the fantastic service you provide is available to them.

Luckily we've been able to go through our local council guy, who sent an email out to their whole business directory about it, so all of the local care homes and facilities have been made aware of us (and others in the area doing it).
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 7000 products, including 4500 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints and much, much more!

I emailed a chum today who is working in the local infirmary office monitoring PPE usage. It would be interesting to hear what he will/can say.

Good to hear that the more formal supply channels appear to be starting to meet demand #:-S

PPE Update (Sunday): We'd like to thank everyone again for all of your donations, the response we've received has been incredible and we really appreciate your generosity during these difficult times.

We've seen the requests for the PPE really slow down over the last 7 days and we've only got 10 face shields booked in for this coming week. We've also got close to 300 face shields prepped and ready to go out as soon as folks need them. From talking to our local council it would seem that the proper PPE supply routes are getting back up to speed now, which is fantastic.

At this point we've decided to turn off the donations for the funding, as we've got more than enough here to pay for all of the material costs we've incurred so far. If something changes and we need to resume face shield production, we've got enough to pay for further material if necessary. We could also look at using some of the funds to purchase professional face shields and distribute those instead.

There will be a chunk of money left over which will be donated to charity. Once we've got the rest of the face shields sent out and things have calmed down a little, we'll be sending out a full costing breakdown so that you can see exactly where your donations have been spent and which charities we have donated to.

Thanks again for your support, it means so much to so many people currently on the frontline. We're all living in a strange world right now and to see everyone working together towards something positive has been fantastic to be a part of.
