Cumbernauld woman flags up free PPE equipment scheme

We were contacted by Cumbernauld woman Linda Johnstone who has become involved in the rollout of the equipment through her work at Caldervale High School in Airdrie.

The so-called Viseup project to make the masks originated in Glasgow’s Kelvinside Academy.

Here, a group of volunteers are making these sought -after items which otherwise would be in short supply at this crucial time.

Linda explained: “I have distributed a large quantity of these free visors to shops, care homes, cares, chemists, Strathcarron Hospice, nurses and individuals in the town.

“However, I am also aware that a huge number of key workers in every area in could benefit from the visors but know nothing about the scheme.

“ Visors can be ordered from [email protected]. And there is also a Go Fund Me Page www.bit.ly/EMERGENCYPPENHS and a web page www,viseup.com .
