Claire Riley and Eleanor Billson are volunteering at the Cumbria Scrub Hub.
More than 300 volunteers are sewing scrubs, kit bags, and scrub caps. More have volunteered to deliver these items to GP surgeries, carers, hospitals, clinics, and care homes.
皇冠体育app pair are using their project management experience to coordinate volunteers and deal with requests for help.
皇冠体育appy have teamed up with another Cumbria scrub hub group and are dividing orders they receive so they can be fulfilled by sewers local to that are, reducing postage delays and ensuring efficient delivery.
