When the covid-19 pandemic resulted in the country going into lockdown, I met an elderly woman outside the shop who was crying as she couldn’t get any antibacterial hand wash or hand gel due to people stock pilling them. That’s when I decided to give Free Hand wash, hand gel and face masks to all elderly & Irfirm people. I put all 3 items in a clear bag and made hand care packages. We have given over 5000 hand care packages to our elderly & Infirm people.

We also gave 10,000 face masks & 10,000 hand gel bottles to carers and nhs staff who needed them for their safety for free.

We tracked the needs of our customers, and found that hand wash, gel sanitiser and baby food supplies were running low everywhere. We managed to source these products and gave them away to those that needed them.

As the pandemic progressed, people started to need face masks and food packages; again we established a supplier for these products and quickly got them to where they were needed most.

We knew that lockdown was taking it’s toll on parents and carers, so we thought that it might help ease the burden if we gave away free lunch boxes and colouring
