The creams ease the suffering experienced by staff wearing PPE. Donations have come from Soroptimists themselves, their friends, families and neighbours. Altogether almost 700 units of creams and other toiletries were very generously donated and have been delivered \u2013 wonderful!<br \/>\nAmongst the donations were items such as soap, shampoo, shower gel which weren\u2019t needed by Hospitals and Care Homes. A phone call to Cannock Food Bank confirmed that they could definitely make use of them \u2013 and so two boxes full were delivered to the Food Bank. The member of staff who received them said how extremely grateful they were \u2013 it appears that they are desperately short of toiletries and cleaning materials.<br \/>\nSoroptimists received a request from Fairoak Ward at Cannock Hospital \u2013 did we make fabric masks? It appears that staff need to wear them when not on duty to ensure the safety of others around them but working such long hours means they don\u2019t have the time to make them. So President Trish Smith and member Pat Stanley [who made all of the uniform bags] led the charge and they, along with 2 other members took to their sewing machines with a further member covering the wires needed for the bridge over the nose. Enough masks for all staff were delivered and the staff have confirmed that the masks are extremely comfortable to wear. No doubt they enjoyed choosing which colour and pattern they would each have!<br \/>\nClub President Trish Smith said, \u201cI am so proud to be President of such an amazing club which can only be such because of its amazing members. I do feel that we have \u2018stepped up to the plate\u2019 and helped where we could during these difficult times.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/06\/Food-Bank-Cannock-receive-donation-from-SI-Cannock-Large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4489\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/06\/Food-Bank-Cannock-receive-donation-from-SI-Cannock-Large-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/06\/Food-Bank-Cannock-receive-donation-from-SI-Cannock-Large-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/06\/Food-Bank-Cannock-receive-donation-from-SI-Cannock-Large-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/06\/Food-Bank-Cannock-receive-donation-from-SI-Cannock-Large.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhotos: Food Bank receive donations<br \/>\nMasks made, delivered and donated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past weeks Cannock Soroptimists have been collecting and delivering hand and face creams&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SI Cannock making face coverings for hospital staff | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : SI Cannock making face coverings for hospital staff : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
