TEACHERS at a Newport school have been very busy making essential PPE for care homes in the area.

Steve Smith and Lloyd Griffiths of the Design and Technology department at Newport High School began making adjustable face visors to give to staff at care homes near the end of April. They have manufactured approximately 700 of them and the first batch is being delivered to Llantarnam Lodge.

They have been asked if they are ordering more materials and continuing manufacturing but said it will depend upon demand.

It started as the school are running a campaign called #NHSfortheNHS (Newport High School for the NHS) and they are sending a host of activities, materials, and musical performances to care homes in Newport and surrounding.
