Hartlip Villagers Sew Scrubs for the NHS - Survey of PPE and Voluntary Action

After reading about the 750 sets of scrubs sewn for Medway Maritime Hospital last year by over 120 volunteers from Hartlip, my partner and I are conducting a national survey of PPE and voluntary action. We would very much like to hear about people's experience of making scrubs during the critical time in the Coronavirus pandemic when PPE was in very short supply.

We believe that the huge effort made by so many people at that time of crisis should not be forgotten and we want to record people’s involvement as widely as possible and we would like to contact those who took part in the work in Hartlip to take part in our survey.

Please take part in our ground-breaking survey of PPE and voluntary action

We think that this research is important and necessary to understand, appreciate and remember what happened and how the activities of ordinary people changed the game and saved people’s lives. While government dithered, thousands did what was necessary.
