Donations for NHS Face Shields

Over the last month our lives and communities have changed dramatically since the outbreak of Covid-19. None more-so than the hard-working and selfless NHS, GP and care staff on the frontline. However, those heroes on the front-line need PPE so that they can continue their roles as safely as possible and ultimately save lives.

To further this cause, the Ysgol Clywedog set up a hub to increase the numbers of face visors that can be produced for our front-line NHS and care setting staff. The programme will utilise the school’s existing 3D printer technology with a design being used worldwide.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s (BCUHB) local NHS charity Awyr Las/Blue Sky are working with us to ensure the visors swiftly arrive where they are needed most in the NHS.

Donations will be used to purchase raw materials and additional 3D printers to boost capacity, with the 3D printers and materials being distributed to local schools after the pandemic. Alternatively if you would like to buy a printer, have it delivered to the school and we will pass it back to you.

An individual donation of £10 will purchase enough equipment to produce 20 face-visors for local NHS and care staff. A 3D printer would cost approximately £200 and would enable the programme to increase production of face-visors, if individuals, community groups or local businesses would like to donate a printer please contact Cllr Phil Wynn by email Phil.Wynn@wrexham.gov.uk or Matt Vickery by email matt.vickery@clywedog.org

Any surplus funds will be passed on to BCUHB’s COVID19 response fund.

Donations can be made through the button at the bottom of the AVOW webpage here.
