PPE for Care Homes

At the height of the first wave of the pandemic we supported local care homes by sourcing PPE for care home staff including masks, gloves and aprons. We received a grant of £5,000 from City Bridge Trust and bought 8,000 masks which were distributed to care homes across the Borough of Richmond. 

We also set up an initiative called Wight Mask Ask on the Isle of Wight, in partnership with a group of concerned local residents, where there is a high proportion of older people and about 70 care homes. You can read more about it by clicking on the picture below.
