Arco, a supplier of safety clothing and equipment, has donated over £72,000 of PPE supplies to Leonard Cheshire.
A London-based procurement consultancy has been named a Small Business of The Year by Lloyds Bank.
PPE
Waste handling and recycling firm ReWorked has developed a full-service operation to process disposable face masks, gloves, visors and more, for public and private sectors.
Leonard Cheshire said its services supporting 14,000 disabled people in communities could now be under threat due to a “sever funding gap” for PPE.
The government announced today that four-month stockpiles of items such as face masks and visors will be in place to provide a “continuous flow” to the frontline.
The team have also created the Deaf Direct Mask, an innovative face covering that enabled deaf and hard of hearing people to lipread the wearer.
The move will particularly benefit care providers, who are often unable to reclaim the 20% VAT they incur on their purchases.
The donation came about after a chance phone call from Cotswold Scrubs, formed in April by a group of local Cheltenham companies pooling their resources to help fight the pandemic.
As non-essential shops in England opened their doors for the first time this week, touch-free wireless hand sanitiser hit the high street.
Hundreds of thousands of face coverings will be handed out for passenger use at many locations across the rail network in England from today.
