We delivered 320 safety
visors that we have donated to the Care Homes in Wednesfield yesterday.
All of them very gratefully received as they have been struggling to obtain
protective kit.
Part of a District 1210
initiative across the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and the Black
Country that has provided 12,500 visors so far. They have been donated by
clubs in those areas and have been distributed to hospitals, health centres and
care homes.
The visors in Wednesfield were delivered to, Affinity Trust, Bentley Court, Harper House, Newcross Care Home and MHA Waterside House
Rotarian Barry Picken said that "The visors are a gift from the Rotary Club to organisations that are caring for some of the most vulnerable. It is our way of saying thank you for all that staff are doing in these difficult times."
Activities Coordinator
Michelle Jones, MHA Waterside House said that "All of the staff at
Waterside cannot thank you enough for your generosity and send our sincere
appreciation and gratitude for the visors you have provided to ensure our
protection. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts...it means the
world to us all."
