Several members of the club responded to the request. Maya Bangar contacted Medway Scrubbers through their Facebook page and made several tops for staff in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medway.nhs.uk\/services\">Medway Maritime<\/a> delivery suite and Carol Infanti made 20 laundry bags.<\/p>\n<p>In north Kent, 3716 bags have been sewn in total by volunteers with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pullingtogetherkent.co.uk\">Pulling Together Kent<\/a>.\u00a0 Kent Police have requested 400 60&#215;60 bags so that\u2019s the focus for next 2 weeks.\u00a0 Darent Valley Hospital has 780, Ambulance service 200, Little Brook Hospital 300, plus many given to local care homes and medical centres. There\u2019s a growing list of places requesting more including Gravesham hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The bags, scrubs and masks, should be made from fabric that can be washed in a hot wash at least 60 degrees. We were pleased to be doing our small part.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1589146214815-b02acab2-b3e6-9&#8243; include=&#8221;4613,4616,4617,4615,4620,4619,4621,4622&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SI Medway and Maidstone, like many other clubs, received a request for people with sewing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":730,"featured_media":4620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","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>Sewing for the NHS | News | Blog | Events | SI Medway and Maidstone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Medway and Maidstone : Blog &amp; News : Sewing for the NHS : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Medway and Maidstone .
