Teachers at Notre Dame Sixth College in Leeds are providing Personal Protection Equipment.
Carol Sheward, a teacher of Design Technology (pictured below, right), has been making face visors using their laser cutter and donating them to health care and other key workers in the local community and beyond.
“I was contacted by a friend who works at Durham UTC as they were making the visors and were inundated with orders. We were more than happy to help in the manufacture of this much needed PPE and once we had sourced the materials, we began production. To date we have made in excess of 1,500 visors and this has been made possible by contributions and donations from local companies, schools, staff and the wider community.
We have been supplying a range of people including care homes, pharmacists, doctors, nurses and care workers in the community who have been extremely grateful for the PPE we have been able to provide. The visors have been distributed around the Leeds area as well as, Harrogate, York, Ripon and some have even made it as far as Liverpool!"
Thank you to Notre Dame College for helping to provide their community with vital equipment and for sharing their story.
