Coronavirus: The sustainable fashion brand making scrubs for frontline NHS staff
“Anyone could get involved whether they’re a novice or experienced”
The coronavirus pandemic is causing a strain in areas of the NHS many had never imagined.
Members of the health service, who have been applauded by the nation twice in the past fortnight, are facing a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE). Hospital scrubs are a vital part of keeping staff and their families, as well as other patients, safe.
Now one company is stepping up to help.
ELLISS, a sustainable underwear brand, is recruiting a network of volunteers to sew scrubs for doctors and nurses on the frontlines, in collaboration with Rayon Vert. The campaign 'Scrub up!' allows people to join in the effort from their homes with a downloadable guide.
