Peterborough’s sewing heroes launch ‘Scrubs for Hubs’ appeal
Peterborough community sewers have launched a ‘Scrubs for Hubs’ appeal as the city’s Mass vaccination centre opens this week.
Having put needle to thread since last April, community group Peterborough4You launched their appeal for community sewers to help the shortage of PPE, now they’re offering further help in the latest lockdown.
The volunteers lovingly sewed over 1,000 sets of scrubs and tens of thousands of accessories like ear-savers and face masks since they started their first ‘Care for Care homes’ campaign at the beginning of the pandemic.
Now the group has started another campaign: ‘Scrubs for Hubs’, widening their original scope and providing much needed PPE to Coronavirus testing hubs and vaccine centres.
