Jack’s food packs | Special thank you from the Met Police | GCA graft away for our healthcare heroes | Be Proud to Care

Jack’s food packs

Comedian Jack Whitehall teamed up with the Felix Project to help get food to Haringey residents who need it most during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Felix Project has been working across the capital to deliver food to frontline charities, vulnerable people and NHS staff and they joined forces with staff at Bruce Grove Youth Space in Tottenham to get food assembled.

Whitehall wasted no time getting involved unloading food parcels and speaking to a number of hard-working volunteers who continue to ensure residents across the borough are getting crucial food deliveries.

The League of Their Own star is working with the Independent and Evening Standard to back their ‘Food for London Appeal’.

Special thank you from the Met Police

The Metropolitan Police have launched a new social media campaign to thank people across London who have played such a key role in helping to stop the spread of coronavirus by staying at home during the lockdown phase.

Residents in Haringey and across the capital have seen their lives transformed over the last six weeks as strict measures have been put in place to ensure social distancing can take place.

With the peak of the virus now behind us the Met Police are taking time to say a special thank you BUT the hard work needs to continue if we are to avoid a second wave of the virus striking the capital once again.

GCA graft away for our healthcare heroes

Greig City Academy (GCA) staff have been grafting away to support our care workers and NHS staff during the COVID-19 outbreak.

As part of a 3D Crowd campaign (external link) for volunteers to produce 3D-printed and laser-cut face visors/shields, GCA’s STEM Lead Daniel Knappert has been producing that PPE since the start of the ongoing lockdown.

Knappert and the north London group of volunteers have taken the visors to a variety of healthcare professionals and settings, including care homes, clinics, community nurses, GP surgeries (West Green), hospices, hospitals (North Middlesex) and the London Ambulance Service. 62 orders have been fulfilled so far by this network of north London volunteers.

The school’s Textiles/Fashion teacher Katy Cooper has been making ear bands and scrub bags for Barnet Hospital and Chase Farm Hospital Midwives. The bands help protect the ears as many doctors and nurses have been getting sores from the elastic on their face masks/visors, which they’re having to wear for long periods of time.

  

Meanwhile, the Science department - headed by Elizabeth Mansbridge - took all their gloves and goggles to the Archway branch of the not-for-profit organisation, Creative Support (external link).
