Had a query from a local pharmacy today.  They have stepped into the gap in dealing with a lot of aliments that normally go to GP surgery.   They are taking temperatures etc and looking for signs - often to reassure elderly that they don't have Covid 19.

I am dropping in a half a dozen Pendraken PPE shields tomorrow morning.

Good for you, James !  :)

PPE Update (Thurs): Today we were joined by our local MP, Jacob Young! Jacob had volunteered to come along for a few hours and help us prep the face shields, so it was great to meet him and have a chat.  Jacob and Rachel got through several hundred shields during their shift, which will be heading out to a variety of facilities over the coming days.

So, today's batches have gone out to:
The Norton Medical Centre (100)
Walsingham Support group (100)
Dalby Court care home (60)
Castle Dean care home (50)
BecomingVisible (10)
Grangetown Pharmacy (10)

We'd like to give a big thanks to Rachel Austin as this was her 4th volunteer shift for us so far. She's still working her day job at Hartlepool Deaf Centre as well, so we really appreciate her giving up her spare time.

We've also teamed up with the guys at Warbases who will now be providing equipment to their local area up in Scotland.  We've used some of our GoFundMe donations to send them a batch of materials, so today we had their first update as well:

"Warbases are pleased to announce we managed to get PPE Visors out to the following today;

20 to Dunfermline Social Work
20 to Scottish Ambulance Service
20 to Church Street Surgery in Coatbridge
20 to Carronbank Medical Centre

We have more booked for next week and we would like to give a massive thank you once again to Pendraken Miniatures who have sent 600 screens to us as well as Scenic Route Models who sent another 500. We will be spending the best part of this weekend cutting these up so they are ready for the coming weeks.

Thank you to everyone once again and if anyone is need of such PPE please get in touch with us at warbases@gmail.com"
