Patrick Carberry, who is head of design and technology at King’s Ely Senior, has been busy making personal protective equipment (PPE) face shields to help out frontline staff and their patients in and around the local area.
Thanks to Patrick’s efforts Mihomecare Cambridgeshire received 110 face shields and the school team has since delivered more shields to St Mary’s Pharmacy in Ely.
Face shields have also been delivered to St Georges Medical Centre in Littleport and Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon.
Patrick said he isn’t planning on stopping there though, as he’s busy making more to donate to other companies and organisations whose staff are working on the frontline.

“PPE has been a challenge to source. Every day our care staff experience new challenges, continuing to give care to those recovering from Covid-19 or showing symptoms.
