Urgent Request for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Wednesday, 1 April 2020 10:06

Cheshire East are working with the government and industry to get supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to front line workers facing shortages during the COVID 19 outbreak and are currently looking for supplies of medical masks, aprons, gloves and hand sanitiser.

If you are an existing supplier of PPE or have supplies of PPE that you could spare for redistribution to health care workers could you please contact us urgently on business@cheshireeast.gov.uk

Alternatively, if you are able to drop any supplies at our collection point it would be much appreciated. Our collection point is:

Shavington Leisure Centre, Rope Ln, Shavington, Crewe CW2 5DJ
between the hours of 12.00pm and 4.00pm.

We are also delivering food parcels to those people who are unable to get to the shops and have no support from family and friends so if your business has any non-perishable food supplies that could be spared for this initiative it would also be very much appreciated. These can also be dropped at our collection point at Shavington Leisure Centre as above.

Many thanks for your continued support and understanding during this crisis.
