Message from Dave Miller, Assistant Chief Constable, Sussex Police, and Chair of the Sussex Resilience Forum (SRF):

“If your business or organisation has any of the listed vital supplies to protect frontline workers, we urge you to contact us. We are short of items such as masks, hand sanitiser and gloves which are fundamental for the good care of individuals with suspected symptoms of Covid-19.

We are hoping that all types of businesses and organisations from high street beauty salons through to academic institutions that use these products daily can help us by offering stocks whilst they are closed. If you have any items from the specific list, we would be very grateful for donations as soon as possible. We also ask that any suppliers that can manufacture PPE contact us urgently.

In addition, we’ve had a fantastic response to our appeals for volunteers to support the SRF’s response to Covid-19, and will be contacting them in due course to support this and other pieces of work to help Sussex communities.”
