\"Fran<\/a>Fran Taylor with Making a Difference Award<\/p>\n

Some people talk about ‘Making a Difference’ and others get on and do it. The shortage of scrubs for NHS staff who don\u2019t normally wear them became a national issue as the Covid -19 virus took its toll. Fran Taylor recognised the need to do something and set up a Facebook page, Harrogate Scrubbers<\/a>, \u00a0asking for others to support her sew scrubs for the Harrogate Hospital. Within 24 hours 200 people had signed up and more than \u00a34500 had been raised. Within 5 weeks there was an army of 800 volunteers who were willing to sew, cut out, organise and deliver.<\/p>\n

We were delighted to welcome Fran \u00a0as our guest speaker at our Zoom meeting \u00a0to find out more about Fran\u2019s fantastic achievement. \u00a0Club members also got the chance to see the Engraved silver photo-frame presented to her by President Sandra.<\/p>\n

‘President Sandra said’It was a great pleasure to be able to meet Fran and, whilst socially distancing, present the Making a Difference award to her, together with a cheque for the Harrogate Hospital & Community charity<\/a>, in recognition of someone who has made a real difference for our community’.<\/p>\n

An amazing achievement.<\/p>\n

Fran spoke about\u00a0 how she realised that such a fantastic response \u00a0needed some logistical organisation especially during ‘Lock Down’. She worked closely with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust<\/a> and other organisations.\u00a0 It was a fantastic team effort.\u00a0 \u00a0A total of 4000 sets of Scrubs of all colours were made as wells as masks, laundry bags and headbands. Hospitals, care homes and GP surgeries were provided the essential clothing they needed to keep them and their families safe. Members of the Club, some of whom\u00a0joined the Harrogate Scrubbers said how well organised the whole process was –\u00a0 from delivery of the material to the collections of the completed scrub sets. A fantastic achievement and a worthy recipient of the Making a Difference award.<\/p>\n
