200 Degrees Coffee donates materials for hospital workers
The chain also delivered 50 cafetieres to the Nottingham Hospitals Charity.
200 Degrees Coffee has donated acetate to the Queens Medical Centre hospital (QMC) in Nottingham to help alleviate the shortage of protective visors for NHS staff.
Acetate forms a large part of the visors which are worn by hospital workers as part of their personal protective equipment (PPE).
The coffee chain initially bought 1,000 acetate sheets and put out a notice to the public for further donations, which brought the total to approximately 10,000 acetate sheets.
“In the current COVID-19 crisis, the NHS are working at the coalface and all efforts are being made to limit the spread, and to help support our NHS and the capacity at its hospitals,” 200 Degrees Coffee co-founder Rob Darby said.
The chain also delivered 50 cafetieres, each with a kilo of freshly ground coffee, to the Nottingham Hospitals Charity, which are now being distributed between NHS staff rooms at QMC and City Hospital in Nottingham.
