Angela Higgins of Resonance Capital and a volunteer fundraiser
on behalf of Masks for Scotland, has announced the launch of a
logistics effort to ensure that PPE is distributed throughout
Scotland to frontline staff in the community and is calling for
volunteers and Glasgow's businesses to back the campaign.
Masks for Scotland, a charity spearheaded by Jill Belch,
Professor of Vascular Medicine at the University of Dundee
(pictured), is backed by the actors Joanna Vanderham, Alan Cumming
and Brian Cox. It launched on 13th April, urging the public and
businesses to donate what they can to provide Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE), to those working in the frontline during the fight
against Coronavirus. In the first two weeks, the charity
surpassed its initial £200k target.
£15 buys a gown and a mask and £100 protects 6 medical staff a
day. Donations can be made here.
Angela Higgins said: "We are also appealing for the city's
businesses to get behind the campaign, as well as volunteers to
take part in the logistics, to deliver masks, gowns and gloves to
frontline staff across Scotland". Angela can be contacted here.
