| The aim of the group is to produce and distribute PPE Scrubs to front line staff in the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas during the COVID-19 crisis. |
| They have currently supplied 1000 sets of PPE for front line staff, A&E staff, GP's, Care home staff, community nurses and many more across the Wigan and Chorley Boroughs. |
| They have approached many businesses for support and have received some backing, for instance the. Williams F1 are contributing £2000 to the Wigan Scrub hub to cover the cost of the material needed to complete 500 of these orders. |
| They now desperately need funding for the next tranche of orders including the army, who have insufficient to cover their front line staff carrying out the COVID 19 testing on 1/5/20. |
| The scrubs, including a laundry bag, cost £8 each to produce, this is just the material cost as the labour, equipment and transport are all provided by volunteer seamstresses and other helpers. |
| A go fund me account has been set up for the Wigan Scrub Hub which is being used to purchase fabric to distribute to seamstresses in the surrounding area. |
