Personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer delivered across West Cumbria.

Organisations and individuals across the country are doing all they can to help health and care workers get the personal protective equipment (PPE) they need to do their jobs safely.

The Sellafield workforce is no different.

Union campaign

The 3 unions representing Sellafield Ltd employees have joined together to raise funds for the NHS. Unite the Union, GMB Union and Prospect are fundraising for personal protective equipment for the West Cumberland Hospital and for community nursing teams in Copeland and Workington.

Since being launched earlier this week, they have already raised more than £21,000 from union members and the public.

They have already delivered personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer across West Cumbria.

Michael Ashbridge from Unite the Union, said:

We have been blown away by the response to our campaign, which has been just amazing.

We are working hard to procure as much equipment as possible, and will distribute this throughout West Cumbria.

Thank you to everyone who has helped to support the campaign.
