Covid PPE Response Team
Meeting local needs for PPE
We are working on addressing the shortage of protective equipment through community provision. To slow down the spread of the corona virus and therefore save lives.
When exploring how we could best help on covid in Mid March, secondary protection (PPE) from visors was identified as critical, often unavailable and something that can realistically be produced locally.
We have teamed up with groups producing facemasks and scrubs so people can request all three under one roof.

What does each team provide?
Facemasks
The World Health Organisation has said anyone with symptoms should wear a mask. They are very common in Asia to decrease risk.
While handmade masks don't offer the same filtration or fit as commercial masks they are a simple way to reduce risk. Hand-made masks avoid the risk of purchasing supplies which are needed for the medical profession.
Locally, Dyfi Valley Health have asked all paitents who visit them to wear a facemask.
For more information please email Jenny.
Visors
Immediately collaborating internationally and working to meet local needs. To ensure availability of supply we took three paths in parrelel. We produced visors via fabrication, 3D printing and laser cutting.
Once we were setup, we met the needs of our local town within a week, in the second week, we managed to also meet requests from the Dyfi Valley including many care homes in Aberystwyth.
Our visors newsletter, Vision is now available First Edition, Second Edition, Third Edition, Fourth Edition, Fifth Edition.
Documentation is available - for the 3D printed visors and our laser cut visors.
Thanks for the kind offers to support us, as requested we have now setup a Paypal account so people can do that.
With thanks to the incredible community
