Healthcare delivery company Bullens has this week been delivering a different kind of help to local foodbanks across Liverpool; donating reusable face masks and hand sanitisers to combat ‘mask poverty’ across the city.
In response to reports from foodbanks across Liverpool that people are struggling to afford face masks following government measures making the wearing of face coverings mandatory in many locations, Bullens set out to deliver reusable masks and hand sanitisers.
Commenting on the initiative, Bullen Healthcare’s Marketing Director, Steve Winterson, said: “With the wearing of face coverings becoming mandatory for many parts of daily life, the offering of free reusable face masks will be of extra benefit to those who are more vulnerable. Especially with the Liverpool City Region being placed under Tier 3 restrictions it is more important than ever to look after our local community.”
Sam Tomlin of Stoneycroft Salvation Army foodbank welcomed the donations of reusable facemasks and hand sanitisers, saying: “We’re really grateful for the donation Bullens sent to us at Stoneycroft Salvation Army, at this uncertain time our community has needed more support than ever. The hand sanitisers and masks will help keep people who rely on our services safe, especially through our distribution of food.”
Bullens has been in the healthcare business for over 160 years, and as a fourth-generation family owned business which has its headquarters in Liverpool, takes supporting local good causes seriously.
Foodbanks supported by the initiative include Stoneycroft Salvation Army, FareShare Merseyside, South Liverpool Foodbank and Micah Liverpool and others.
