Fundraiser for 3D Printed PPE in Wrexham

The Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW), in association with Dr Graham Sperey-Taylor and Cllr Phil Wynn, are fundraising for a Wrexham Hub located at Ysgol Clywedog and other schools and College to produce additional face to produce additional face visors for front-line NHS staff, Social Care settings across Wrexham County Borough.

Protecting the NHS

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 our lives and communities have changed dramatically.  None more-so than the hard-working and selfless NHS, GP and care staff on the frontline. However, those heroes on the front-line need PPE so that they can continue their roles as safely as possible and ultimately save lives.

To further this cause, the Wrexham secondary school has been transformed into a hub to increase the production of face visors for our front-line NHS and care setting staff. The programme will utilise existing 3D printer technology with a design approved by Bangor University.

Donations for the Wrexham Hub Face Visor Project

Donations will be used to purchase raw materials for any school or college in the area and additional 3D printers to boost capacity. The 3D printers and materials will be distributed to local schools after the pandemic.

An individual donation of £10 will purchase enough equipment to produce 20 face-visors for local NHS and care staff. A 3D printer would cost approximately £200 and would enable the programme to increase production of face-visors, if individuals, community groups or local businesses would like to donate a printer please contact Cllr Phil Wynn by email Phil.Wynn@wrexham.gov.uk.

How to donate

Donations can be made below through Paypal:

 

What will happen with additional funds?

Additional Personal Protection Equipment from the programme will be supplied through Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s (BCUHB) local NHS charity Awyr Las/Blue Sky and Council Social Care, further information about the charity can be obtained from their website.

Any surplus funds will be passed on to BCUHB’s COVID19 response fund.
