Over the past few months, Vectis Sunrise Rotary Club have been extremely busy providing the NHS, Mountbatten Hospice, care homes, schools, dentists, physiotherapists and chiropractors across the Isle of Wight with essential PPE equipment.
Rotarians Anne and Maggie have been making scrub suits on an industrial scale and utilising their homes to become ‘Scrub Central’ in Whitwell, taking specific colour/size orders. Even now they are still very much in demand from the NHS to private home help.
Rotarians Ron and Adrian have also been busy distributing full face visors, scrubs and masks. Ron has been working alongside Mountbatten Hospice to collect and distribute scrubs whilst Adrian
has been working hard to ensure the Island is equipped with face visors.
As all fundraising opportunities have ceased during the lockdown, the Club have tried to ensure they continue volunteering across the Island and helping other charities and individual groups.
Rotarians Ron and Frances, along with 2 of Frances’s Dogs, took part in Mountbattens Walk the Wight Your Own Way raising nearly £600. Frances has also sold over 250 sunflower plants.
