The Leighton Park face shields initiative has taken the next step in providing personal protective equipment (PPE) for the NHS. Teaming up with the ScrubHub, a network of volunteer community groups who love to sew, Leighton Park has provided fabric for 250 sets of scrubs.

​Unphased by the end of the Easter break, Leighton Park School’s face shields hub and our dedicated partners in production have continued to make vital personal protective equipment (PPE) for the NHS and keyworkers in the healthcare sector.

In just over a week Leighton Park has become the centre of a huge face shield manufacturing operation. The School has established a network of 18 manufacturing partners to increase capacity and has so far provided 6,000 face shields to 79 organisations at the frontline of the Covid-19 response. This includes 8 hospitals and 18 GP surgeries. All of this has been made possible by the huge generosity of the public, with over £17,000 having been donated for materials through a GoFundMe page: bit.ly/LP4NHS.

An amazing initiative to help the NHS frontline tackle Covid-19 has developed into a major co-operative manufacturing operation spanning nine schools across Berkshire!
