NHS – Important Update
 
The good news is that the supply of sewn items is just about to surpass demand, which is an amazing achievement by all, so thank you to those Club Members who have been sewing, making PPE and organising the logistics of supplies etc. Please don’t make any more scrub bags, but for any you have just completed that require collection/drop off, please contact [email protected]

It is suggested that if you can help with making the disposable type PPE gowns, where there is demand,  (which requires an iron to “seam” pieces together), you join the “New Forest Sewing For the NHS” Facebook group and in particular the “Press Gang” or “Brian Gown” divisions, where all the information is located. The information changes too rapidly now to keep you updated with a weekly newsletter.

The Facebook Group did mention that as we are being asked to wear masks in public then this could be a good way to use up any spare material. They suggest contacting your neighbours/local community groups, which many of us have, to gauge interest. Some groups are selling them for a small fee which is donated to the NHS or look at the website: https://bigcommunitysew.co.uk
